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.

Thank you Lin. My headache is gone now, thank you . 🤗 They aren’t too bad these days, it’s more of the weird stuff going on in my eyes so that I can’t focus on anything. Drives me nuts!

Karen Marie when you get the auras, the eye squiggles try drinking some caffeine like a glass of Pepsi or coke a little cup of coffee the caffeine helps to stop the migraine, that’s what I do and don’t look at a screen let your mind calm down- hope you try the caffeine thing if you get another one-and I hope not😘

I think I caused the problem somehow, by telling a website not to hook up with me again. They asked if I wanted to have it not hook up with anybody and I said yes. Thinking they meant anybody here at my house. Then SPO went down

I see Lynn’s all peopled-out; maybe you can get some quiet time now 🤗
Loved the video Debbie posted; you laughing was so cute 💗
Ardyth, Rick had the right idea doing the barter to get what he really needed. 😉
Julie, we can commiserate together, Packers lost and i’m pretty sure the Broncos are going to do the same 😔

Do you really keep them up until March? I will take mine down after Christmas and leave the tree until after New year’s

December 21, 2025 5:57 pm

I know it might seem silly but yes, I leave the tree and a few other Christmas decor out through Winter. The long days of cold and wet and grey can get me down so the decor and lights make me happy. I live alone so I get to indulge in my whims…lol. It is a small tree barely 3 ft. high and sits perfectly on my puzzle table at my bay window, So doesn’t take up alot of floor space.

Ha ha. My little fake fireplace. I have two, one on either side of the TV bookcase. I have a real fireplace but had it closed off when I bought the house. It isn’t even in the living room which makes no sense. Ya gotta love old houses. It is at the very end of the space that could be considered a dining area near the kitchen. But you can’t see the flame from the kitchen. I like to watch a fireplace in my living room while I’m reading or watching TV.

Oh sweet pea, you have me all wrong…lol. I would hate a new subdivision. i’m a second hand Rose Goodwill gypsy who loves old established neighborhoods like the one I live in with lots of old trees and different shaped older homes. That’s my cup of tea not neighborhoods that are modern and every house looks the same in a homeowner’s association with more cement than trees! Oh no!😁

I went to early church and then Walmart for just a few things. Rick took a baggie of those hot scorpion peppers to the Farmers Market. He found a booth that had a bag with the makings for salsa for $7 so he asked the guy if he would do a trade…..so we are having tacos for supper.
Another beautiful day, sunny and 81°

December 21, 2025 5:21 pm

Hi Ardy. Tacos sounds delish. What a smart thing for Rick to do – trading at the market. I imagine early Americans did that too!

I read more info in the scrolls. Are they now in WI? You are so right about the neglect and abuse down in Texas. I lived in Albuquerque many years and even there, it was the same. Esp. pit bulls which were used for fighting and then discarded and many chihuahuas just dumped and abandoned. When I lived in the South, it was abandoned hound dogs and injured roosters from cock fights.
