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.
I think my neighbors across the street had their beagle Millie pass away? because I just saw the guy with a beagle puppy cute little thing😍
Sometimes certain people who know it won’t be long get a puppy to help bridge the gap when it happens. And sometimes depending on circumstances a puppy can perk up the elderly.
they do..but now I think it’s best to wait…overwhelming for the elderly pet usually
I’ve heard it both ways. Hopefully they know their pet.
If the older pet is only a couple of years older, it then works you wouldn’t want to bring in a new one in with a much older pet. Judy is running into this now- the puppy and her 2 older cats, they don’t get along at all. Her kitty’s don’t even get to sleep with her because of the puppy he terrorizes them. I told her she needs to kennel him and its not fair to her cats so her answer was to buy a cat tree they can climb up on to get away from the dog😂 I… Read more »
I agree Lynn
Some times things just happen like me and Jade, I wasn’t looking for a cat at the time I got her, she needed a home and I had one😍 Never get a young animal when there’s an elderly pet like a new puppy or kitten its not fair to the older pet who at this time of their life doesn’t need to be pounced on or get chewed on. I have not seen Millie in over a month and I’m used to seeing her everyday, I’m sure they got this puppy after Millies passing, they walked her everyday
But didn’t Judy sorta go looking for Jade? I remember when Gypsy died Judy told you well, looks like it is time for a new cat. She hadn’t found Jade at that time.
She and a friend rescued Jade and her sister but I didn’t know about that till 3 weeks later- Judy asked If I wanted to rescue and I said yes then and out of the 2 rescues Judy picked Jade for me, I got her sight unseen I didn’t even know what color she was it didn’t matter to me, she needed me and I needed her💕
And You lived happily ever after.
Oh yes😍
😂 by perk up meaning they never get to sleep again or eat in peace the loss of you attention, because the new pet takes up so much of the owners time-totally changes how the older pet gets to live (quality of life)
Good late morning…DH just got home but he’s sitting out in the truck on his phone..anyway…earlier he took the dogs out and had to rush back to his dad’s, the caregiver said to come…his dad wasn’t doing well ..he’s somewhat better now so DH came back home…this is why it’s hard to plan things, well one reason…there’s also DH being so busy and our pets. We’d thought about going out of town shopping today or tomorrow and my sister petsitting but thinking that won’t happen..maybe we can just go to a couple stores here in town. If it’s ok to… Read more »
I’m sorry about your FIL Lynn. I know that can be very stressful. I hope you and your husband can get out and about today. Bring food where?
to his house, like we do once every week or two
I see. I couldn’t tell if the bring food part was for Christmas or because DS is in town.
DH probably won’t think of it at all but we do bring food once a week, lately more like two weeks, even three…might not be a good idea for tonight but we’ll see
If he’s resting that’s a good thing😘 do you bring him food too?
yes, always..for us, caregiver, him
Good Morning Lynn, hope your FIL feels better this has to be so hard on your DH and you, I would feel afraid of traveling to far with him not being well💖 does he have a cold, the flu?
well he has mini strokes, not sure about today…threw up, passed out on toilet, low oxygen level ..better now, sleeping
Does he have hospice support?
no we cancelled that
Does he have a nurse there with him? besides the care takers. Or are they qualified to help him medically? know to call a ambulance.
just the caregivers, a couple are cnas..they do what needs to be done, give him oxygen treatments and meds
They probably know enough to judge if to call an ambulance or not. Everyone has to do what they think best. Under these circumstances I personally would not feel like I couldn’t go 30 minutes away. Things could stay like this for months, or be over in seconds where if you were standing in his front yard, you couldn’t get in fast enough.
when he works out of town he’s an hour or two away though..and not much I can do
not sure what they’d do at the ER, really..
Exactly Lynn. So it really doesn’t matter if he is 2 hours away working, 30 minutes away shopping, or sleeping at home in his recliner. If something big happens, he probably won’t bet there. And to be honest and blunt, your FIL won’t know whether he is there or not it will be so quick. It sounds like to me it is not the sort of thing where a person would be conscious and you are holding their hand waiting, being with them. Maybe I don’t know what I am talking about.
he might know, might not and not necessarily quick
You know the ins and outs of his medical condition, I don’t.
CNA”S are great😘 he’s in good hands💖
most of them aren’t , only two I think and one of them are quitting..but the caregivers still do the treatments, meds
the town/towns are only 20 and 30 minutes away but we were going to eat and shop
You have so many nice towns to go to near you😍 going for lunch sounds good😋
There is probably nothing that can be done if something happened and you were a block away. Keep that in mind if something does happen when you are 30 minutes away.
that’s been in our mind for years..if you remember we’ve had to abruptly leave our anniversary meals, walks at the parks afterwards, lots of things for years
Exactly Lynn. So if you are 30 minutes away, and something happens, no guilt. Your presence would still not be guaranteed unless you were standing beside him at the moment. It can happen that quickly where there is no real time anyway.
like I said above though..DH goes quite a ways for work sometimes and gone all day
Exactly. Life cannot stop when the time is so unpredictable. And if it has gone on for years, that even includes things like shopping 30 minutes away.
Thats right Debbie
I hope your FIL will be alright.😘
Good morning Bella Buds. I’ve had tv problems again. I’m not really sure what is going on. When I got up the tv was working as usual since we started having to use the ROKU. Then I started getting the circle of doom and I couldn’t make it go back to tv. I checked the ROKU connections. I checked to see if I could get tv on my iPad. I could so that meant YouTube TV was working. But still no main tv. I checked with the tv in the kitchen which is smart, no roku needed. It worked. So… Read more »
Glad you got it working good idea to unplug it and let it reboot-they often say to do that
I know. Now I need to figure out what is causing this. The tv is “dumb” now I think. So does that mean the problem is ROKU? Or maybe there is still something about the tv making the ROKU have a hard time doing it’s jon]b. It is all over my head.
Not familiar with ROKU so I wouldn’t know? maybe Google it?
I wouldn’t even know how to ask google. Maybe. I’ll see if it keeps happening.
why is my roku buffering so much – Search
Thanks Deb.
you’re welcome
I was having problems with my little tv yesterday and as a last resort I did like you, unplugged it, let it sit a few minutes, plugged it back in and voila all was back to normal
I agree it may be “fixed”. Will just wait and see. I do know it is not my internet strength. Even our tech/friend guy said we had more strength than we need.
yeah, well they said there are number of reasons that could cause it but at least you know you can just unplug and replug it if it happens again
I guess but I’m thinking maybe it can be the tv also.
maybe
I think the tv is about 8.5 years old. Life expectancy of a tv is 5-10 year depending on usage. Our usage is about 16 hours a day! It just stays on from when I turn it on in the mornings about 8 until Jo turns it off at night. Not sure when she turns it off but probably about midnight.
If we had storm patterns like this😂
I love this! Yes I would like that storm every day.
Morning Debbie😍
Good morning Julie. You will be busy today getting packed and ready to go. I’m glad you are getting to go.
Me too but its so stressful, I hate that part and its more peaceful just staying home🤔 I’m going for my Mom and Dad
I really do understand that. I just wish you had a say in when to come home.
Me too, I don’t know his plans I still need to talk to him
yes, that would be really hard for me…
It’s very hard on me not to have a say
I walked this morning. Now I am washing all the bedding and rugs etc. Nikki has more than likely had fleas for at least two months and they dont seem to be on the cats or our sheets, etc. It freaks me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will find out today how to treat Nikki? Fleas are horrible they jump, they jump from animal to animal when I had cats that had them the fleas would bite me it was like getting a mosquito bite, it itched like crazy
We have not been bit I guess
Trust me you don’t want flea bites🙄
Good morning Ardy. What makes you think Nikki had fleas that long? Has it been that long since she went to the vet? Guess I’m thinking about Roger who recently went.
I think she has been scratching at least a month, maybe two!! Yes she went in Sept
I just wonder why the cats didn’t get them. You are sure they are fleas, you see them crawling?
I did find two live ones on Nikki and the little black spots that google said are feces…..gross
I guess you will know soon.
Good Morning Bellas, Its a cloudy morning crows are cawing coffee clinks😘 I’m still deciding whether I’m going north for Xmas? have to call and see if I can get Jade boarded would leave tomorrow that’s it for me for the day if I can get Jade boarded I will be packing today
what time do they open
at 8am Just talked to them, its a go😍
Well that will be nice that you can go again to be with your mom and dad.
It will be and not have to wait a long time to see them
💖
I just heard from the clinic I can drop Jade off at 4pm today😍 don’t ask when I’m coming back I don’t know
Next year probably….
I didn’t even think about that😂
😁
Good morning Sunshine, glad you are going north. You go and have a great time and a Merry Christmas. I’m happy for you.
I’m off to bed. Busy day tomorrow. Good night to everybody and hope to see you tomorrow. Sleep wonderfully. 💕
