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.

What am I seeing in the cam. It is not the usual view of the flower pot tree on the patio. Those are big leaves in the fall. Olive doesn’t have eggs in the fall. I guess the leaves could be artificial.

I guess Olive’s nest was always on the little tree on the patio but this has to be a big tree, looks like a maple, but they do grow in S CA.

Good morning
It is cloudy and gray here and it started sprinkling last night. I was going to walk but it was sprinkling lightly so I didnt.
It’s already a boring day……I have nothing to do and dont want to do anything because the weather makes it depressing.

Good morning Ardy. Sounds like a good day to catch up on taped shows! I set out to go through Christmas cards I’ve saved from years past, maybe since 1989. I thought maybe throw away some that really have lost much meaning. Well, I’ve made no progress. I didn’t even want to throw away address labels that were missing the N with my street address. That was my latest address change when they added the N to my address because of confusion with my disjointed street. I really need to throw them away. I only saved old cards that had… Read more »

I keep my cards from year to year. I take out all the ones that were picture cards of people and I put them in a special plastic box in groups because normally the same people make picture cards. And then before I gather up this year’s cards and keep in the basket I will look through the cards I saved from last year and toss the majority of them, let’s say I have one from somebody that passed away from last year well then I usually save that or if it’s especially cute I save it Or if it’s… Read more »

The longer we live the more we have and who is really going to take the time to read something from 30 years ago? I think I just got to get an attitude of throw away the usual, like a card from a friend 20 years ago that basically talks about the vacation they took. Keep the ones that are more important, like my cancer is now in remission. Not really keep it, take a picture, throw away the card itself. I just have so much clutter. I also think, I almost died in 2023. It can happen any time… Read more »

I have pictures of cards too but then that does take up space in my photos…I probably have 100,000 pictures!!!!!!! Someday a new laptop probably wont take them all. I still have letters that my Grandma wrote to mom and dad when i was a child, never read them because they are in the closet in a box……I am too sentimental and have to get a different attitude too. Hmmmm, Lets take a survey.

The verdict is in, I’m taking pictures. Every year I take a small piece of paper to keep tract of Christmas cards I sent and received. Those papers date to 1989! I’ll take pictures of a few all in the same picture. As far as real notes in cards, it is basically two people. One is a college friend going back to 2008. I’m sure we wrote longer ago than that, but I had not started keeping them. Oh I just looked, she is on my 1989 list. Maybe they are tucked elsewhere and I haven’t found them. Then a… Read more »

LOL you’re the survey huh I was thinking about asking everybody in chat Oh well I don’t see anybody chatting today. I do take pictures of cards in a group when it’s like my birthday. I Do the same thing as you I have a piece of paper and I write down all the names and then I check off sent and then I check it off when I get a card from them But I copied the list over every year and then throw it away

Good morning Bella Buds. We are cloudy but the fog is gone. I’m wondering what wonders I will do today. The answer to that is NONE. However maybe I can get some this and that done. I sure have plenty of those to do. Hope every one is ready for a good day.
