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.

Y’all, I have to take a little break. I’m starting to get a migraine headache and I have wavy psychedelic lines through my eyes and I can’t see what I’m typing. I used to have these things in my 20s and ’30s, constantly. Finally got rid of them when I turned 40, but I get one every now and then. See you in a bit.

Have a little cafine Karen Marie, that usually stops mine. I get tunnel vision and I can’t see I have a Pepsi or cup of coffee that usually pulls me out of it taking a break from looking at a bright screen helps too. the screen can bring one on-my exsperience having them and what I have learned

I tried to post a video of me cracking up but it won’t let me. Then I tried taking a screen shot of it and it was blurring. I may try another tactic. The video is only 14 seconds but you would like seeing it I think. Maybe I can post it on Facebook for those of you who do Facebook.

Good morning Bella Buds I’m doing good this morning. Yesterday was a good day, I enjoyed being with my family but it was busy! 180 degrees from my quiet rather peaceful life. Like stimulus overload! Two little babies, one crawler, one toddler, two pre-school age, one first grade I think, plenty school age then all the adults! But it was fun. I haven’t looked at my pictures yet, but by the end I completely lost my phone charge. I think I’ve already experienced a declining phone battery, may need a new battery. Niece Shonda took a video of me when… Read more »

Good Morning Debbie, sounds like yesterday was lots of fun-laughter is a great thing, how sweet to see the crawler and toddler and the other kids, so much fun around Christmas time. Nancy made a new friend that’s wonderful. I can’t wait to see some pictures. What did you have to eat?

Oh there was a lot of food. I don’t think I made the wisest choice of what I got. There was chicken and dressing, ham, black eyed peas, broccoli casserole, hash brown casserole, green beans, Mac n cheese, noodles and beef, cinnamon apples, fruit salad. Don’t know what I missed. I didn’t even look at desserts.

I hope it works out with them. It sounds like a good thing. I look forward to seeing your pictures. I’m sorry to hear about your cell phone though, I hope you don’t have to get a new battery. I’ve not had to do that yet, so I really don’t know how hard or expensive it is, but . . . . 😉. Sit back and… Read more »

Enjoy church and shopping😘 hope your muscle relaxers and stops hurting was it from lifting? I lifted 2 bags of bird seed yesterday andI’m feeling good today-had to get them to the garage and pour into buckets, I was worried about how I would feel today🤔

How heavy are those bags? Glad glad you feel OK today. When you go to those stores you should ask an employee to put them in your basket, and another to take them to the car. Then you won’t have to lift them until you get home. Then maybe half life, half drag.

I’m not sure of the weight of the bags? they were big ones. Just had to put them in the cart were scanned in the cart then pushed out to the car-lift into the car then out at home, minimal lifting. You can use a shopping cart to take things out to your car-that helps a lot

Good Morning Bellas, I’m up watching the sky get lighter, I can’t see the sun come up but I can watch for when It hits the tips of the trees. Jade snuggled with me all night😍 she got a new ball yesterday from Fleet Farm and I having a blast playing with it, Judy said her cats like the ball so decided to get her one😻no plans today just this and thats. Packer game was a nail bitter the sideline heaters were not working even the bench warmers. So cold with the wind coming off of Lake Michigan… imagine being… Read more »

Good Morning Becki😍 the heater thing was so strange and the announcers said to make it even the Bears would have to turn theirs off and then poof, the Packers heaters started working again, they are gas heaters like they use in barns or auto shops they rarely go out-and would be checked and running before the game started-never heard of this happening before🤔

Hey! Good morning sweetie! ❤️🦋 I’m so glad you got to snuggle with your baby. Sounds like you got a good night’s rest. Is this some special kind of ball that attracts cats more than others? Whistles, bouncing, etc.? I bet she is really cute playing with it. Really tragic about the heaters. I already wrote about it one time I think, but I wanted to see if you remembered when Bud Grant of the Vikings did that to his team on purpose back in the ’60s OR ’70s, when all the other teams had heaters. He said it built… Read more »

Good Morning Lady Bug😍🐞I don’t remember the Bud Grant thing I will have to look that up, having the heaters helps to keep the muscles warm-less injuries they do run a lot and create body heat then the have to sit out when its either offence or defence the heat keeps them from totally cooling down-better for their muscles. They are used to playing in the cold, the heat is a muscle safety thing

Good morning Julie, I would like to see Kade playing with her new ball. How sweet snuggling with her. I just saw bits and pieces of the game. Too bad about Love and the heaters too.
