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.

Did Karen go to sleep? It has been a few days since we heard from Lynn. I’m beginning to think something is going on.

No, I’m still here, Debbie. I’m just moving slowly through the kitchen, trying to fix something to eat. I did notice that Lynn isn’t here either. I hope she is okay.

I am blurry eyed again. The words are mixed together for some reason. I thought I saw the name Lin instead of Debbie. Sorry, Debbie.

I thought I had posted about my day but the page refreshed and I think it was lost before it posted, I shared that my brother did come today as he was feeling better. I broiled lamb chops and he had his plain, following his FOD map IBS diet. Me, my innards are strong as a truck so I smothered mine in mint jelly, garlic and rosemary. We also had creamed spinach. I considered making a simple kugel he likes but my back was starting to whine so I relaxed with him. We watched a good movie called The Devil’s… Read more »

You did post earlier, but some things are said now that we’re not said earlier. I never heard of a kugel so I googled. I know you aren’t Jewish! 12 inches of snow! Didn’t know you were snowed in.

Reply to  KyDebbie

Kugel is more aligned with northeastern countries where it was made historically and still is. Recipes varied. So a German kugel would be different from a Polish kugel. Yes, I am not Jewish by faith. However I am half Jewish by race from my mother’s line. I do enjoy some of their culture as it reminds me of my grandparents.

Oh, that is a rabbit hole of a conversation…lol. Northern europe an countries have gone through so many changes. If you look at old maps and then modern ones you will see the changes. I’ll email you more info re: my family.

12″. We used to get that here also. But I don’t think I’ve seen it in about 10 or more years. I thought it was kind of neat, except for transportation problems. I bet you are ready for the melt. 🙂

I agree, snow is lovely unless you have to drive in it. So glad to be retired. I love the quiet of Winter and the beauty of it on sunny days. Not so much when it is gray skies and muddy brown slush!

Jo isn’t going she has a dental appointment. My appointment is at 3 my time so I have to go to Walmart. Before the appointment and take a cooler.

Reply to  KyDebbie

Is it painful for you to drive with your feet? What’s with the cooler?

KyDebbie
January 4, 2026 9:37 pm
Reply to 

Not usually. Maybe at the end of the day. Sometimes then I hurt even if Jo is driving. Somerset is 30 minutes from home as far as perishables go, so sometimes we take a cooler anyway. But for the first time my appointment will be AFTER Walmart and groceries, so I HAVE to have a cooler if I buy anything perishable.

So I will say hello to everyone, since I haven’t had a chance to yet. I’ve been trying to catch everyone before anyone leaves the area for a few minutes to eat or go to bed or whatever. So now I will tell you what I did today. Nothing. I spent most of the day sleeping off and on and eating/drinking off and on, and now I’m sitting, and eating and drinking again. It’s just so exciting! I’m trying to catch up on the world news, but I can barely stand to watch it. So I’m watching animal videos. That’s… Read more »

Good late afternoon…..nothing new to report…..I hung out on the bed this afternoon for a couple hours, even fell asleep for a bit.
My lower back is hurting from lifting boxes on the top shelf of the closet….. Rick is grilling burgers and roasting potato wedges.

Hi Ardyth. I am feeling much better than I was a few days ago, thank you. That certainly looks like a beautiful setup for the concert. I can tell you had fun. Your outfit is really cute. I’m hoping you can fall asleep right away and sleep until you HAVE to get up. 😊 Thanks for posting the pictures.

I’m glad you’re feeling better Karen Marie. I posted on Facebook but I posted for it so you could see a little bit of the night. Yes I am very tired but what a treat. Raymond is on tonight instead of 2 and 1/2 Men which I used to love but I just can’t fall asleep to that all right? Good night you take care of yourself
