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.

Nothing fancy, just easy peasy. Microwavable basmati rice and can of black bean, Added garlic, butter and cilantro to rice, diced up chicken breast and added cumin to beans.

Sounds good to me. Have you ever tried canned chicken in a dish like this?

Yes. I try to use things by their expiration date. I had some chicken breasts in the freezer that needed to get used.

I bought canned chicken as a treat for cats. I tasted it and thought it better than I expected. I think it would be especially good to use to mix with stuff like your meal.

Be careful with that – has so much sodium. I drain it and rinse but the meat still has absorbed sodium. Not good for cats unless you mean canned specifically for cats?

I’ll remember that. I don’t know if they make a low sodium.

So many human canned or packaged foods have added salt, sugar, etc.or naturally just have too much of it. that is Ao unhealthy for pets. They are so vulnerable for diabetes and other ails from human processed foods or food not meant for them. A friend of mine was told to limit the dried sweet potato she was giving her dog because of its high sugar content.

Julie called very briefly, she and her mother were leaving for Ashland, the car was warming up. They are getting a wheelchair for her dad. Something like he has trouble getting in the kitchen chair. With the wheelchair he can just roll up to the table. Tension.

Time for me to stop by and say hi… Hello, I went and got my haircut. Then I did two loads of laundry. Then we ate lunch. Now I’m washing my soap operas. And I’m going to apply my nails.
