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.

Hi still From my Hotel bed.
Pam, my laptop had overheated, too. Took it to a shop, they opened it and blew some dust out. It helped. Nite. Pills.

DH, DS and I had ours…mostly I got books, a calendar, treats…oh and a little wallet with an owl on it. FIL liked his comfy robe with a hood on it.

Hi Lynn you have been a busy lady! Are you pet sitting more than one? You had lunch with your sister today for gift exchange, so does that mean she won’t be with you, Mom and other siblings tomorrow? I guess DS was eating with friends. Enjoy shopping for snacks for tomorrow.

actually, I meant to say with our cousin..we exchanged gifts. My sister and I do actually have our own private one either tonight or tomorrow night..she doesn’t like to open ours in front of the others so we do that at my house. I’m petsitting two dogs. Tomorrow it will be her, me and DH (if he can make it), mom, brother…

well, we splurge a bit and likes to take her time maybe and doesn’t like people watching. DH has to be at his rentals when the gas is turned on sometime…between 8 a.m. and midnight 😮.sooo…not sure what he’s going to do, can’t imagine just being there all day waiting…

Happy Boxing Day — aka day after Christmas Mostly cloudy, heading to 70; other than a shower, which is already done, nothing else on the agenda 😎 These new slippers have already come in handy. This Dell laptop runs hot; it’s shut itself down because of overheating. Anyway, i have a floor fan facing me and it really helps keep the laptop cool; but my feet get so cold, even with a blankie on them. So last night. i put the slippers on and a blankie over my legs — VOILA! He did good! I took Kitty to 4-corners a… Read more »

Good morning Pam, I like your Boxing Day! It is also carry out a lot of extra trash day! They do make cooling pads for laptops, but sounds like you got it covered. They aren’t expensive though. Like your 4 corners photo.

Hi Deb. I don’t usually have a problem with my ipad unless I use it a lot while the charging cord is plugged in. But my old laptop which Jo mostly used, we used a muffin tin inverted on our lap. It was more comfortable and it worked.

I always leave my laptop on my desk, but yeah putting something under it helps sometimes, I have heard of the cooling pads but never tried them and now not sure I will when Pam says they are not very effective…I use my tablet when I don’t feel like sitting at my desk

I don’t even own a desktop or a laptop, seems my iPad does everything I want. It is a large tablet about as big as a small laptop. I bought a detachable keyboard I’ve never used when I bought the iPad. I guess I should because I make more typos on this touch screen than I would on a keypad, but I just don’t want the extra bulk.

I don’t have near the photos you do so that is a big difference. My iPad is 256 gb so it holds quite a bit. I’ve had it a good while now and its storage is less than half full. So it works for me.

They do have iPads with as much or even more storage than your laptop. But I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think you can move things to an external storage. Maybe. I know I have a cable where I can move photos from a real camera to my iPad.
