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.
Good night to all my Bella Buddies and peepers. Lisa good night to you if you check back in, but I suspect you are now asleep. Karen I said good nite to you below. Pam, Becki and anyone still checking in, good night. Everyone have a pleasant, peaceful evening. Love to all.
Just in case I fall asleep, I want to wish you a sweet, peaceful night tonight!!! I know Debbie and Karen are most likely awake!!! Love to you all.
You sleep peacefully, Lisa. I hope you wake up feeling like you are 20 years old. Just remember that you’re not, and don’t get too feisty! 😅 Sweet dreams. ❤️
Thank you Karen. I’m not asleep yet!!!! How nice the fellow could change the lightbulb so easily for you!!!!
Im very careful when I clean the ceiling fan blades once a month. Bill has to hold the stepladder to make it safer…like you said we are not 20 anymore, can’t take chances.
It does get scarier, the older we get. It was quite amazing to watch him do that. I think he is about 6’3″ or so. 26 yrs old. What a nice young man! I did feel kind of like a great grandma, though. 🙂 And yes, you need to be careful with those step laddders
Better not.
You be careful on that ladder.
How old are y’all?
Well, I am a year behind you, at 72. He is 70. 26 just seems so yong these days.
I think I knew your age but not your husband. I was asking Lisa but I learned something about you to, or your husband!
Sorry, I thought you might be asking Lisa, and I checked again, and got it wrong a second time. I must be really tired.
It is hard to keep up with what reply goes with what person.
Yes. I usually do fairly well, but I think my eyes are tired. That, and the time you sent the message. I haven’t seen her on for a few minutes. 😅
She may have fallen asleep. She is on Eastern time so nearly 11 for her.
Yes, she is probably sleepy or sleeping, with her babies. ❣️
Have you made up with Dutchess?
I have tried. She is not ready. Or maybe she will use it as a bargaining chip to get more play time tonight.
Smart dog!
I’m glad Jo got good news about her vision. I bet that makes her feel a lot better. I have been watching the Collins Street Falcons in Melbourne Australia. It’s usually a great nest, but now it is like E-24 and E-25, as there’s an illness at the site, and they are losing babies one at a time, it is taking a long time. So sad for them. Nature can be no fun sometimes.
Thanks about Jo. Oh poor falcons. Do they think it is bird flu? That was horrible about our eagles and it was scary with our parents.
It is Trichomoniasis. It causes them to not be able to open their mouths very well, or swallow, or feed their crop. They try to eat, but can’t, so starvation gets them. And it takes two to four days for each one. Never seen anything so sad in my life. This little girl I’m watching is really giving it a fight, though, and her little brother is helping her. Yes, that was so sad, I was sure thinking we were going to lose our M and F23. I cried for days.
Oh those poor falcons. That seems just so sad. I don’t want to see that.
No, you don’t. But I follow them, so . . . I would feel bad and like a traitor if I left.
I understand that Karen. You watch it lot of videos and cameras. So my dear sweet friend, I’m about ready to say good night. I’ve had a little trouble with sleep lately. I’m getting sleepier earlier and waking up earlier. Or maybe I’m just not adjusting yet to the new time, I wish they would leave the time alone. It is actually 11:30 now if we were still on daylight savings time, so my biological time clock thinks I should be in bed. Seems I’ve had more trouble this time adjusting. Anyway, you take care of your baby, play with… Read more »
😂
Big Bear is sure getting cold and windy.
I’m sure it is up in the mountains. I hope Shadow and Kaydee make a good pair and raise lots of babies. I wish all the eagle parents had names.
I’ll be awake 2 more hours! So you are going to bed. Good night dear Lisa. Did you have supper? Wishing you sweet dreams and good things.
Ok Lisa, i think you are asleep now. Have a sweet slumber. See you tmrw, sometime. 🌺 🦄
Finally made it here. Been really busy and tired. I got a really high monthly water bill 2 days ago — $256.00. With no yard watering! Normal IS $70. Called water company and they told me that we have a water leak, at 80 gallons per hour. I said, WHAT!? I had someone look at it, and he couldn’t find it. I had someone else come out today, and after he inspected the entire house, he found that it was the toilet in one of our bathrooms. He actually heard it running through the wall, somehow. So, I paid him… Read more »
Oh 😩 Karen, so sorry that happened. That is a lot of water. I’m glad the problem has been found and being resolved.
Thanks Lisa. 😍 The guy was really nice. As he was walking through the hallway, we asked if he could also help us change the light bulb in the hallway ceiling. He said no problem, and just reached up, took the old bulb out, and put the new one in, no ladder needed. He’s tall! We are at the point where it’s too hard for us to get up on the ladder or step stool. I’m going to keep this guy in mind. 😄 I hope your day was pleasant.
Thank you. Not too bad a day on this end. I also really have to watch it when I’m cleaning ceiling fans. I don’t stand on something unless someone is holding the stepladder.
I’m glad you had a decent day. You are smart about ladders. I’ll tell you who’s not having a very good day though. It’s Dutchess. She is not too happy about her day. She got locked up the whole time the guy was here. I knew she wouldn’t leave him alone and would be barking at him off and on, and I didn’t want that to happen. I don’t know if he’s a dog person or not.. Now she is pouting. Not really wanting to talk to me very much. She will forget by later, when I bring her toys… Read more »
Awwwww. That baby can’t be mad at her mama too long.
Hopefully not. I don’t like it. 😥
😁
I’m glad you got the help.
Me, too. And reasonably priced. He said he was going to check with some of his contacts to see if he can find some folks to help us with some other stuff. A really nice young man.
We need him!
Don’t we all!. He is the first person I have ever met to be so wanting to help.
A nice young man.
Yes. The angel I have been praying for, I think. He is very mature in how to talk to folks, but still has that boyish charm.
😂. If you were only 50 years younger!
He would be quite the catch. I think he is single. He will be very sure before he settles down.
Oh no, good grief. I find it hard to believe a toilet would loose 80 gallons per hour! Seems like a lot. We have had leaky toilets before. Did he put any dye in the tank to see if it leaked into the bowl?
He had a special camera and also heard it. His words were, “Niagara Falls.”
Good grief! Is he sure the leak isn’t in the wall with a pipe, not the commode?
Yes, he is sure. He said it is rushing through the pipes.
“A toilet can leak at 80 gallons per hour (about 1.3 gallons per minute) because water is continuously flowing from the tank into the bowl or spilling down the overflow tube”
Got it.
I didn’t believe it either, ar first.
I meant to take a picture yesterday of my take out meal. But I did tonight. So this is what is still left after I ate last night.
Oh Debbie, that looks so good! 😜 As I sit here eating my tuna salad sandwich.
Hi Karen I do like their ribs and baked beans
I would too. I can taste them already.
Hello Karen,
I was thinking of you all day . Hopefully you are feeling better!!!!
You are so sweet, thank you. I am better today. We had a nice, long rest.
Good to know you are better today!!!! Long rests are soooo nice and healing. Hello to sweetheart Dutchess. I enjoy your comments on the site of M15 and his lady friend. The tower, I will never understand…
Thanks. I enjoy the site. Glad to have you there. I will never understand it, either. We will have to watch and see how she makes it work.
I only started with the 🦅 eagles last December when M15/F23 had their little one. I Callie baby Little E, I just fell in love with all 3 of them. I was so torn when F23 left us. I’m glad M15 has someone, even if she does choose the tower, which I hope she will not.
I was so excited when i first started! Little E is so smart! So was F-23. When she first came, I thought she was going to be snotty, but she ended up being really sweet. She was beautiful. I don’t like the idea of a tower nest either. 😲 Kind of like the 25th century or something, and not very warm. It does have a roof though, on the first floor. That is a plus. And I and happy he has a mate too, he gets so lonely.
Karen how are you seeing the cell tower so well. Oh, I guess YouTube.
Yes Debbie, I’m sorry I forgot to mention that I saw an Androcat video. I was going to post a link, but I don’t think we’re supposed to do that anymore. On YouTube there is a video who’s cover page shows a real close-up look at the tower. That’s the one you want. I still don’t know how Androcat got that high of a shot. Maybe from a tree?
I’ll have to check out the video. Thanks Karen.
Yes, it is a great video. I hope we never lose Androcat.
Let’s see, Ladyhawk is the one who films at Big Bear?
There, and usually at SWFL too, along with others. She is still filming SWFL, only not as much now. She does a lot of nests, even the Albatross’ in New Zealand.
Big bear has several standard photographers. I can’t keep up with them all.
She doesn’t have her own camera, though. She goes strictly with what Pritchett cameras provide, or from a photographer she works with sometimes. Androcat and others have their own cameras.
Ok I see. She is editing by rewinding the on site cameras to do like a summary over time.
Yes. She is good at it. And I love her commentary. She knows her stuff.
Me either Lisa.
Yummy 🤤!!! That looks delicious Debbie!!!
Thanks Lisa, I need to go get my supper.
Going to cook some dinner , basically last nights left overs😋 easy peasy The Chicken Lasagna was really good and I would buy it again😘 Have a great night. I’m getting under the covers
Good night Julie and Jade!!! Sleep tight!!!!
Good night Julie, enjoy the leftovers. Sometimes leftovers for me are better than 1st overs.
Goodnight Butterfly 🦋 😘. Sleep tight. 😍
Chicken, sweet potato and lima beans and I’m going to bed as soon as I can. Have a busy day tomorrow. Good night everybody
I thought the Lima beans were part of the cactus on the plate😂sweet dreams Ardyth😘
It does look like foliage on the cactus.!!!!!😂 nite nite Ardyth.
That would be how much chicken I would eat but my helping of the sides would be triple! It all looks so good but I’d want more. It really look delicious.
Good night Ardy. Hope no RLS. Enjoy your show. What are you doing tomorrow to be busy?
Love lima beans! Tasty, Ardyth. Sleep good. 😍
Hope you have a more restful night than last night 😴
