Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA
Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.
There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.

The blanlet matches Michi! Mountains are pretty. Match Michi too!
pretty mountains and pretty kitty 😍
Mountains are so beautiful, Michi looking comfy😍 I had police drones last night, there was a shooting a couple of blocks away and they had drones looking for people and they got them
Drones really scare me!
I could see it from my bedroom window, it would hover then take off. There was a police chase too lots of squad cars, very loud. They caught one guy on top of a roof. The drone found him.
Wow! I wonder if the Drone detained him, and how. I’m thinking he’s lucky he was up high and a police dog didn’t “detain” him.
The drone spotted him, the drone has a camera the police can see in real time and move into capture
Cool.
Oh my gosh Julie!!!
They got them😘
Yay for our side!!!
😍
Ohh 😮, just never a safe place anymore.
I live in a big city and things happen. I’m safe where I am
Mountains just soaking in the sun. Perfect colored blanket for Michi. Almost time for hummingbirds to be out and about, right? I always thought it was exciting when AirOne would go up, looking for someone, but if I was at home, I had to make sure my doors and windows were locked and my curtains were closed.
Ardyth has hummers all year😍
Yep
Green with envy here.☺️
Lucky duck. 😅
Such beautiful pictures!!!!
I didn’t realize you had your beautiful calico cat Michu. The birds against the red mountains are very nice. All four photos are beautiful.
Sorry, I spelled the name wrong.
Typos can be fun. I spelled rabbit like fabbit and we sometimes still call a rabbit fabbit. So far when I try to type shut and type the letter immediately to the right of the “u” accidentally, I have caught it and corrected it. Sometimes after the post but managed to edit hopefully before anyone saw it.
I love it!!!
I spelled Fabbit or rather auto correct did😂
I made sure the birds were in it for you!!!
I wasnt sure i wanted a calico, never had one……but happy I do…she has been a handful…the girls can agree with me…she has broken many things of my moms
some can be like that 😀 but they sure are pretty.
Yes my favorite was when she got in the refrigerator and y’all didn’t know it. Then she got in the clothes dryer and had one lap, then the time when you didn’t have her long and couldn’t find her. She was in a bucket asleep under the kitchen sink! 😂🤣😁
😂
Dear Ardyth: I am so sorry to hear about all that is going on with Nikki. The experience you all had yesterday was frightening and horrible. I saw the picture you posted below. Sweet little baby. I know you and Rick are doing all you can do. I am praying this was just a fluke that no one can explain, and that it will never happen again. 🙏 My heart goes out to you. And of course the heartburn starts also, knowing that you are already upset. I really feel so bad for you, and hope things get better quickly.… Read more »
Thank you for caring Karen, she is doing well but its day by day with congestive heartfailure.💖
I’m sorry too…we all love sweet Nikki 💕
Thank you Lynn but other than her cough she is doing OK again……its a matter of time and we know it😪
All you can do is not let her suffer🌹🐾
Of course. Hanging in there with you.
😘

Building collapse in Flatbush Brooklyn New York one dead, serveral severe injuries they just rescued a child and a pregnant woman it happened about 3 hours ago, you can see right into peoples appartments
Doesn’t look accidental to me.
One building total collapse and part of another building partial collapse, There was construction work building a new building, The ground in New York is very unstable, its like sand on top of rock
What a terrible thing to happen to someone. Your home just collapses. That must have been really awful for you, Julie. How long ago was that? I wonder if there was construction going on there also.
Happened just 4 hours ago, they say the child has died rip💞
Oh no! 😱😭😰
YIKES!!! Those poor people 🙏
Its such a freak accident😫
Test
Text probs.
I see you.
Ty
I see you Karen Marie🤓
Ty. Been fighting it for an hour
Hello to All. My mind has been on little Nikki all day. I just give hugs to all three of you, Nikki, Ardyth and Rick. ❤️
Thanks Lisa……..💖
You bet!!!!
😘
Ardyth: Poor Nikki; she’s been so sick — and poor you/Rick 🙏
Thanks Pam
That was the scariest thing ever!!!!
The Vet called. She said it sounded like a seizure and maybe not getting enough blood to her heart……keep giving her the hydrocodone.
I had a salad with chicken and now acid reflux or ♥burn
so they don’t think the medicine caused the seizure, it just happened to happen at that time?
I have no idea rick talked to her so he never tells me all the details
but probably not ..it is probably the lack of blood going to her heart
seems weird to me
Sounds like she might not be getting enough oxygen that’s what’s in our blood, oh poor Nikki💖 are you taking the pills Ardyth?
Am i taking them?
I think Julie probably meant for your heartburn because you also mentioned that in the same post
OH…..No I am not. I am trying to do what the DR wants me to do.
good luck
Thanks.
I did mean the heart burn pills, thanks Deborah😘
For heart burn
Well that was unexpected. Have you done it yet? Given her a dose?
Do you still have the option of using the pills?
The pills are for other things, her heart and fluid around the heart.
Rick gave her a dose and she is fine
It was probably the stress before too. I guess I thought the fluid was given because she wouldn’t take the pills, but they are really for different things.
Yes she takes heart pills and pills for fluid around the heart and the liquid is Hydrocodone homatropine syrup for dogs and they are all taken every 12 hours
Is the liquid just for pain?
for her cough…her trachea has narrowed causing her to cough
and she is coughing quite a bit again
Poor sweetheart.
Yep
I know how hard it is Ardy. Hugs sweetheart.
😘
I feel so bad Ardyth
She was diagnosed March 2025 but we already knew it….and we know what is coming….it is sad.
knowing doesn’t make it any easier💖
No it doesn’t. Ignorance can be a blessing unless it prevents proper care.
No it doesnt but we have been through this before and know each day is precious….
Wish there was a way where you can have a chin but start early treatment for the heart problems, Nikki has lived longer because of your care😘
and she came from MI from a puppy mill I am sure
Dear Ardyth: I am so sorry for little Nikki, and for you and Rick. What an awful experience you all had yesterday. I saw the picture of her below. Such a sweet baby. You are doing all you can do. And maybe it was just a fluke, one of those things that nobody can explain for sure, but won’t happen again. I am praying for that. 🙏 And of course the heartburn would act up right now. 😩 I think it happens when we get nervous. I feel bad for you.🌹
Thanks Karen…she does have congestive heart failure, this is what Japanese Chins get and die from…..our last three died at 10 years. Its a matter of time, she came down with it in March 2025
😥
A little over a year and a half. I’m guessing Nikki is about 10? I know we do have to try to plan for these things as pet owners, but it just never seems to help. Even though some of us have been through it so many times. It truly never gets easier. Each one is so special. Just keep pouring the love on and try to make her feel better. That’s about all you can do. And pray, of course. Has she been fairly mobile up until yesterday? If so, is she back to that again?
Nikki five is 14 years the other Nikkis died at 10 years from congestive heart failure. Her seizure only lasted a short time…after resting 20 minutes she was back to herself….she is sick and has been since March 2025 with congestive heart failure – that is what they die of because they have pushed in faces…..but other than her coughing she is Ok again…thanks for caring
I did not know that their faces caused them to have this heart problem. That is really strange. Thank you for sharing all of that with me. I’m glad she is okay again. It would be so much better if it could just be peaceful and her not have to go through a seizure again.
Hopefully she wont, I have never experienced that before. I thought she had a stroke
Yes, it did seem like that to me too. Glad you guys got to her quickly.
You would think over the centuries nature would adapt.
It doesn’t work that way, they use dogs that have the defect and keep breeding them knowing that they will die from it. It’s kind of cruel
So pugs and Pekingese have the same problem?
Genetic defect
Dear Ardyth: i am so sorry for poor Nikki. And for you and Rick. Your experience yesterday was terrifying. I saw the photo you posted below. Sweet little baby. I am praying this was just a fluke that no one can explain, and that it won’t ever happen again. You guys are doing all you can. 🙏 And of course the heartburn would have to happen, since you were upset. I feel so sad for you right now. 🌹
Heartburn was from a salad….ugh
Hi Lady Bug😘🐞
