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.

Hey GEM! Snoopy and Woodstock pajamas — are they flannel, warm and toasty? 😊 Glad to see you. I am still channel surfing, haven’t found anything that I want to watch yet. My eyes are too tired today to read. Oh well. Maybe I will put on some funny short videos.

Merry Christmas Eve everybody! 🎄🎀 I have been busy all day, trying to stay awake. I totally wore myself out yesterday. Then I had dreams all night long about Dutchess being first an eagle, then a mini donkey, and then a little baby elephant. I think I have been watching too many animal videos! 😄 I have been channel surfing and working on food stuff for tomorrow. I saw one news report that was halfway interesting — it made me ask: how do you all of a sudden find over one million documents? Anyway, I have the little turkey breast… Read more »

Karen there you are! I’ve missed you. Oh no what dreams! I’m glad Dutchess was an eagle not eaten by one! Good grief! And a mini donkey? 😁🤣. She could ride a mini donkey. So sounds like you are having a lot of food tomorrow. Just the two of you? You will eat good I’m sure.

Hey Debbie, I don’t know why I couldn’t see your comment, I’ve been looking for it. 😥 We are only having a couple of sides, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. The ham is a shank cut that will be covered with pineapple rings and whole cloves. Hubby said he would like it that way, so I told him I would show him how to do it. 🥰. I haven’t planned any dessert, but I am planning on making a batch of butterscotch fudge. Are you making anything for tomorrow’s celebration? You probably said something, but I can’t remember right… Read more »

So you are going to make your husband cook? I thought you said he couldn’t cook. So just you two? Fudge sounds good. You can’t neat ,ached taters and green bean casserole. I’m not taking anything tomorrow. This is basically just Sherree’s family and she will do most of the cooking but I’m sure her girls will help a lot. I’ll pick up Nancy and we will go to her house. I’ve been looking for you too, to see if you responded any more.

Maybe the site is messed up a little bit. No, I am not going to make him cook, I’m just going to let him place those items on the ham. 🙂 And yes, just us two of us. Maybe Dutchess will get a couple of bites of mashed potatoes. 😍 Kind of nice you don’t have to take anything tomorrow, you can just sit and relax this time. I still have to get to Facebook and try to figure out how to look at that video you sent. I wrote down the video address, so maybe I’ll be able to… Read more »

i love pictures just like Ardy, but I really do want to know what people look like I talk to. It brings that person to life, I can see them in my mind when I read their thoughts. Oh no, your hubby probably thinks I’m crazy! I didn’t know hubbies age, now I have an idea how long until he can retire. That will be a happy thing for you. I hope all of you have fun at the sea. I always went to the ocean in hot weather, I don’t know what people do in cold weather. Merry Christmas… Read more »

Julie called, there were undertones of missing Michael, she would say something then go on to something else. Gery gave Julie a holiday ale, 7% alcohol. It has spices in it. He said she can have another one. She is grilling steaks for everyone but her father who prefers hotdogs. Baking a potato, a salad kit. Her mom threw the salad bag at Julie and Julie surprised her Mom by throwing it back. Her Mom, caught off guard still caught it and they had a good laugh. Julie had taken a rollator for her Dad and he is trying out.… Read more »
