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 all. I know it is late – a little past 10p here so this will be quick. Read through a bunch of scrolls to see how everyone is. Karen- happy you are feeling better!! Soon you’ll be on your roof top proclaiming to the world “I’M BACK!!!” PamCo, fellow plopper here 😁 Makes me think of a hammock, a good book and warm sun☀️Yes, to MSW!! Debbie – it looked to me that you got lots done! And smart to freeze leftovers from Thanksgiving. I bet that was tasty! Ardy – your social outings always sound so fun! I… Read more »

😁Looks like a cookie in there, too, to make it crispy. We have those Leibniz butter cookies from Bahlsen, which look this way.

hmmmm??
Salad looks and sounds good.

The ritz cracker has the same pattern around it than the butter cookie, lol. Didnt know but googled it. Now i really googled a cookie ,i dont believe it, ha. It goes much better with a salad than a sweetish butter cookie .
Love that shortbread, too, but sadly its not so great for the waistline, but gooood.

I wan’t sure if you get Ritz’s there or not.
You’d think with all the accomplishments of mankind, someone could invent food that tastes as good as the naughty stuff but no calories, no fat and be healthy with no artificial or yucky tasting alternatives. YES PLEASE! Anyone that can come up with that deserves a Nobel prize😁 When Stevia came out and everyone raved…I hated the taste. Still do.

Oh wow that salad looks and sounds wonderful. I don’t know how to put things like that together. I just have tossed salads, Julie calls them garbage salads. So is your journal like a diary? Do you chant with the drum? Sorry your brother didn’t get to come.

It’s easy once you know what ingredients work well together and what you like. I love crunch and sweet.🙂
I journal. One could say it is like a diary though to me diaries are something a teen cry into about breakups, pimples, etc. My journal is more like a daily log where I note Nature activity, astronomy events, what I did that day, reflections on goals and growth, etc. Also a bit of a scrapbook.

ive been working on a grocery list. I organized the garage freezer. Things needed to be put together that go together. Searched the “pantry” which is really a free standing cabinet. The house fridge/freezer. Went through a pile. Washed dishes, fixed 3 meals for Casey! In other words this and that.

Hi! I just got here. I am feeling a little better. Sorry if I missed you, Ardyth, but thank you for your well wishes. 🤗 I’ve only read a couple of posts so far, but wanted to say hello fairly quickly. I got up a little while ago and I reviewed the news, barely got through that 😰, then I saw the eagle info that Debbie is talking about. What an interesting thing to see between two bald eagles. So sweet! I always thought that Beau, the male, was a sweetheart. Anyway, I’m going to try to stay up for… Read more »
