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 Pam and Karen. Time for me to snuggle in now. Wishing you both and any peepers a good night. 🥰♥️🥰♥️
Good night Debbie. 🌼 Sleep well. 🍀 Talk to you tomorrow. 😘😍
Debbie, I didn’t realize you were still on. Nightie night. Sleep tight.
Good night Debbie, i’m right behind you 😴
Debbie, did you see CBS Sunday Morning today? There was a segment on Rockettes; they did a wonderful march of the wooden soldiers
So cool!
Those women work really hard to get all that in-sync
I did see that Pam. I just love the March of the wooden soldiers. It is my favorite thing, more than the high kicking. But I can see why the men probably like the kicking!
i saw them in person Christmas 1999; it was spectacular
Oh I bet! I bet their Christmas shows are better than other times of the year. They do perform year around don’t they?
I don’t know for sure, but i suppose they do.
They do perform during the year, their Christmas show is a must see event if you can get tickets to it😍 some people go every year as a Christmas tradition😘
Lucky duck! 😄 They are perfection. almost Must practice constantly.
For sure, probably not a lot of ‘down time’
No, probably not. 😳
I’m going to goggle that as I don’t think I’ve seen a performance of this. Sounds wonderful.
Karen Marie, can you see this? Am curious regarding your eyes. Do you know what is causing it? Have you ever been checked for glaucoma?
I bought some thyme plants just to have something green to look at that doesn’t draw the little buggy gnats. They don’t like the herb smell. I don’t have plants usually because of those gnats.
Hi Lin, yes, I can see this. ❤️ Thank you. We’re “box-free.” 🤗 I started getting migraines when I was 18, and they would always start with these terrible lines, lights, psychedelic stuff, in my eyes. Once the lines and stuff went away, the headache started. Worst pain in my life, worse than labor/delivery pains, toothache, bone, muscle pain, surgery, anything! I would be in bed for 3 days, crying. And no one (except my Mom) believed that my head could possibly hurt that bad. That was back in early 70s when they hadn’t discovered migraines yet. Even though the… Read more »
Gosh, your journey wirh headaches is intense and horrible pain. I’m so sorry you’ve had to experience that and glad some of it has eased. Curious about the lights and other images. I know when I have too much sugar late at night and can’t sleep because my body is full of glucose, when I close my eyes, I see bright blue sguiggly lines and a bluish green glare. It can also happen if I don’t get enough sleep. Has an eye doctor been able to tell you what might be causing those visual images? I love houseplants but living… Read more »
Thank you, Lin. It seems really strange about our squiggly lines. I was diabetic while I was on steroids after pneumonia and resulting damage. I’m wondering if I had the diabetes in my body since I was a kid, with no signs or trouble until after the pneumonia. Curious. I do know that squiggly lines are normal prior to a migraine. Do you get headaches at all? I used to have a lot of house plants, but after I was in the hospital from pneumonia and was on bed rest, I ended up with dead plants. And I still talk… Read more »
Rarely do I get a headache. When I do it is always if my sinuses are badly stuffed up. So I take a decongestant to relieve the congestion which relieves the pressure that causes the headache. And never have those weird eye images. I’m really curious that an eye doctor hasn’t figured a cause or causes for those visual disturbances which it sounds like you’ve continued to have even after migraines stopped. I agree that plants in the home make a healthier environment. When did you have pneumonia? Sounds like it was serious.
I had double pneumonia in 2009. Almost died twice because they couldn’t find an antibiotic that worked on me. Allergic to penicillin.
Doctors say that sometimes people just have the warning signs for the migraine but it never actually comes on. Go figure, huh? Don’t you get lines and an aura?
No. What I occasionally get is more like squiggly design in bright neon blue when I lay down to sleep and close my eyes. Usually if I haven’t gotten enough sleep. Probably an overtired optic nerve. No auras. Nothing like that.
I believe both events of lines, for you and me, are caused by swelling of the capillaries in the brain.
A migraine is caused by the brain tensing up and the capillaries getting so tight in the brain, that by the time they relax, they over relax and swell really large. At least that’s what I was told by the doctor who diagnosed me.
But I never have migraines.
My migraines are very faint these days. They still call them migraines because of the squiggly lines in my eyes. The original doctor told me that they would continue to get worse until I hit 40, and then they would get less intense or go away. And that is exactly what happened. He also told me that I may get the eye problems without the migraine, but I never got lucky enough to have zero headache. Your eye problem could be something else though. I don’t know, they just seem related.
Now you have me curious. I’ll do so e research and let you know what my thoughts are. Will also ask eye doctor bit my annual eye appt. isn’t until Summer.
I would be glad to hear what you come up with. I will also ask my current doctor, whom I’ve only had for 9 years.
Thats why drinking caffeine shrinks them and can stop the migraine from coming on
This rarely happens. Only when I am overtired. Sometimes when I am writing or working on an art project, I’ll stay up and not sleep for a night or two. That’s when that can happen. Not the same thing you get.
Probably true. I hope so. Who knows, everybody has problems and some people have the same problems for different reasons or the same reasons for different problems. 😂 I am going to go to bed in a couple of minutes. Will you be up late tonight?
Oh my that was serious.It is scary when doctors and pharmacists have to figure an antibiotic that will work. .
Yes, the doctor that actually figured it out walked me out of the hospital in my wheelchair. That was a real honor back then. He actually saved my life.
Goodness, you were really sick!! So glad you made it through!
Thank you, me too, I think! I don’t know what’s on the other side exactly, so I can’t say for sure. 🤣
Having a auras is common with Migraines-its what happens before the migraine kicks in, with a migraine I get the squiggly’s and then it goes to tunnel vision I get to where I can’t even see
I never knew that. I knew that folk with epilepsy can have pre-seizure auras. Do you get migraines? Karen Marie told me about hers. Sounds so painful.
some migraines are what are called cluster headaches, men get cluster headaches more often than women, I had a room mate who would get them she suffered greatly from them
The salsa in a bag, ready to blend from the barter………….this is Rick’s plate
Good night
Good night Ardyth. 🌸
That looks so darn good! Gosh, I haven’t had a good taco in years! Good night Ardy. Sleep well.
Looks wonderful. Good night Ardy. Feel better, sleep good. 🥰♥️
Theres some Sunday night shows on I want to watch so I’m making dinner and kicking back have a lovely night see you in the morning😘
You have sweet dreams too, Julie. 😴 Stay warm. Talk to you tomorrow. 😘 Nite-nite.
Good night Moonbow have an enjoyable night just you, Jade, supper and tv.
Nightie night Julie. Glad we got to connect a wee bit. You and sweet Jade have a lovely eve💛
Got the old wi-fi equipment packaged up; i’ll take it tomo; the UPS drop-off is only about 3 miles from the house.
Good job Pam.
Great I wouldn’t know how to pack it up😜
The box they sent for returning equipment came with instructions! It was great 😎
Yeah, you got to get rid of that stuff soon, or they’ll come running after you for the money.
Pam, I was responding to a message you sent about the wall art when everything went haywire and I lost SPO like everyone did. Now I can’t find your post. Thank you for your kind words as it made me feel less guilty for buying them. I confess that this is the time of year where I allow myself a few gifts🙂 Here is the larger piece.
And why do you only allow yourself a few gifts?
Well, actually I do gift myself but I always struggle with guilt if it is expensive because I know so many folk, including veterans who are homeless and without. I do donate throughout the year and support my local community esp. the veterans but never feel like I do enough. I am often haunted by the need in the world.
There are indeed many needy. People and animals. 🙁
Most of the animals because of bad people.
Yep. I watched the story of KoKo the Gorilla the other night. Even she said we are being stupid and need to fix nature. 😓
Yep. Was it Ghandi that said something to the effect that you can judge a country by how well it treats its animals.
When I read what happens to male chicken chicks….horrid. I was a meat eater then vegetarian for a long time and vegan for a shorter time. But eventually resumed eating meat because well let’s face it, it’s tasty!
Ghandi was a smart man.
Indeed!!
Amen to that!
You can’t do it all sweetie, and you deserve nice things. It is our government that should do more for our veterans, especially the ones that lack as a direct result of their service. You deserve your beautiful art work.
It really is a lovely piece of art 💗
I’m amazed at what can be hand crafted! She painted every flower herself.
What are the flowers made of? So pretty.
I’m not sure. There is no info on the back. I was planning on sending the artist an email through the store as she us the owner. I hope to get more info on the art so will let you know.
Looks like I was sharing the same boat as suddenly I couldn’t post or reply and then couldn’t sign in again. Whew…glad it got fixed. Thank you HNF or whoever fixed it. Debbie ignore my email…I’m back on🙂 So I’ll dive in and reply to some messages.
Glad you thought to email.
I wouldn’t have thought to check emails
I haven’t been there yet but I was on my way when you called the second time.
So you got my frantic email…ha ha. Hey, Reel link woeked so I got to see you and Nancy! I loved it!! You look wonderful!
Did you get the video I sent?
I haven’t seen the video yet been busy here!Glad you got to see the video, you know what I really look like good grief. 😫.
You look great! I can see the weight loss! How tall are you? I’m jealous of those long legs!
5’6”. Thanks Lin.
They must look long because you are so wonderfully lean now🙂 I user to be 5’7 but have shrunk over the years due to my spine issues.
Oh my that sounds bad, the shrinking, especially at your age. No, I’m not lean yet but better than I was. The hardest part is yet to come.
What is the hardest part?
Keeping the weight off when you are no longer trying to loose weight. Trying just to get it right. Not gaining or loosing. Facing the fact that you can never eat like a normal person without gaining weight. I will still have to watch every bite.
Yes, I agree. But most people cannot eat as they like after they start aging, anyway. But you can make your bites count. Just juggle what u eat based on the amount of calories or whatever you can have in each food group per meal/day. And we can always slip up one or two days a month and have a candy bar or whatever accidentally. And you will feel so good just being normal weight — that makes up for a lot of it. You will get used to it. And it won’t bother you so much after a while.… Read more »
I’m going to work very hard at it.
I had the same thing Lin wouldn’t post so shut down after trying to refresh
I panic when things like that happen because I feel helpless with my lack of tech skills to fix it. So glad it got fixed because I saved this evening to spend time with you all.
I feel the same way.
When I came back on but hadn’t signed back in, it was a relief to see that it was a widespread issue and not just me and that it got fixed!🙂
I emailed SPO
That was smart!
