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.
SAD…From FB Chat didnt like it for some reason
…..
they are vicious! and that’s why I don’t want them nearby…I want my barred owls back! every year I call back to them, and they answer..and we crack up over their monkey sounding laughter
😘
I don’t want anything nearby that can pick up a small pet.
💔This makes me so sad 😢😢

God, how awful. I’m an owl lover but this is so sad😢
Kasmira Truscott From FB @Lynn This is so sad · I’m absolutely heartbroken. The bald eagle pair I’ve photographed so many times up on Merritt Island—watched, admired, and was waiting for eaglets, are gone. (Killed by great horned owls) A pair of great horned owls came and fought for their nest. The bald eagle pair was thought to of laid eggs bc she’d been sitting in the nest for weeks. I read a post yesterday about the male sitting on the nest, calling and calling for her, wounded with blood on his head after an attack by a pair of… Read more »
Hello…finally a bit of time to post..I did post a couple times about how busy I was petsitting, maybe some of you missed it, sorry. I was so busy and then while at home I had to get my own house and pet things done…and I got more tired the last few days…I have a little break now before the next job, maybe a few days or a week. When I went to petsit, I stayed there 2 -3 hours, then came home for 2-3, back and forth like that…and the last couple days DH was back to work (working… Read more »
Hi Lynn
Good to see you. You have been busy.
I love GHO’s. There was one in our neighbors tree a few years ago. I loved watching it.
well, I’m a huge owl lover…but GHOs…don’t want them right here..and I want my barred owls to come back! oh, and Ardy..DS is now in Tucson until or through May.
There you ARE 💗
What does your son do so long in a place?
runs and travel to races..his friend will be working there.
Oh how neat. I would love to run into him, fat chance though.
well, if you really wanted to it could be possible..mostly I hope he visits my aunt…but he didn’t visit my aunts/ uncles here so…don’t know. if you were in a smaller town like here..you’d see him running all over the place, lol
It would be cool to meet him but, he doesnt know me and probably wouldnt want to….😂
he does like meeting people though..
I bet he would like meeting Ardy and Rick.
I think so.
his friend though…well we disagree politically…DS isn’t that much into politics, I don’t think
😘
He wasn’t in town very long during the holidays was he?
a week or so, that’s pretty long for him
I didn’t know that long.
guess it was 6 or 7, two of them he drove up to Wisconsin…one time to a camera shop, the other to run with people..and one day to the quad cities…sometimes he went to lunch or dinner with friends or out running so he was busy
He runs faster! 😁😂🥰
well, not always that fast but far 😀
Do you think Ardy could catch him?
LOL I dont run but I didnt mean literally running into him😀
I know, I’m messing with you.
😂 I knew that
😂🥰
hmm, you never know, lol
I love GHOs. They are such good parents and so sweet. However, I don’t like the way they pick on bald eagles. They are quite beautiful though I think.
my favorites are barn owls..started here at SPO with Molly and McGee in 2010 💕
I watch Robert Fuller videos with barn owls and all kinds of owls. He is such an expert on them. I will check into Molly and McGee.
Lynn there you are! I missed you and am glad you are ok. You have been busy. Going back and forth between homes. Doesn’t sound like you will be bored for a while. I wouldn’t want a GHO near my house capable of picking up a pet like a small dog or cat. Glad to hear from you.
So nice to hear from you Lynn! 🤗 I’m watching the Jan 6 ceremony by House Democrats right now, but wanted to check in real quick. (I am in tears.) I finally remembered in my cloudy brain that you had said something about being busy and probably MIA for a bit. I’m glad the dog-sitting is going well. I would love to do that. 😘
I love it, too..next I’ll be petsitting a cat so a bit easier. I did read the chat but was so busy and tired sometimes..and had to try and get things done, well some things, at home.
That should be easier.
I understand. Yes, cats aren’t as demanding as dogs. My little baby runs the show. 😂
I bet!
It’s like they figure you out and know how to push all your buttons.
and not as time consuming..I had to get up early, first take mine out, then go to my job for at least a couple hours and play and spend lots of time with them..and be there at night also, it was a lot
and I always got there a half hour later than I wanted to..
You must be exhausted!
not now..was just a bit tired the last 2-3 days is all.
Okay. I’m glad. You did a lot in a short period of time.
yes at home I’d try to do laundry, take care of my pets, this and that, you know…and also spend some time with DS and my sister..she did come over to my job when she was still here
You are enjoying your life. 😊. I love spending time with my pets too. Previously had more dogs, in but you know how that goes over the years. I’m glad your sister was able to go to your job with you. You two are very close I’m thinking.
Hi Karen what channel?
I’m watching it on youtube. It’s called House Dems hold meeting on anniversary of January 6th Capital riot. I guess it was on ABC News live
Hi Debbie. This is really interesting. A lot of information!
Dang, i fell asleep
😯
Winter is coming to the 🏜️ desert
Pretty cold for you. We are 55 right now.
The nights will be really cold for us….32° one night!!!! Yikes
That is literally freezing!
Yep it is~~~~
YIKES! That’s very cold … brrrrr
It is for us “desert rats.”
I havent opened my KIA car cover. I think i will take it back. It says to out it on a clean car…..well seems my car is never clean and goes weeks at times before Rick takes it and washes it for me. I think it will just be a hassle and not get used much. It sounded like a good idea until I read up on them.
I’d say you would get tired of putting it on, taking it off every time you go somewhere.
Yes – RICK said he would have to help me. He took it back!!
It isn’t all that easy to put a cover on my grill.
Right, Rick has to do that too when he grills.
I’ve had car covers and they’re really more of a pain than not.
After I got to thinking about it that was the conclusion.
Chuck & I both woke up late; Rick was already gone to his monthly blood draw; we both freaked! It’s a Very Short Window of opportunity, 30-45 mins, for us to use the kitchen and for Chuck to use their bathroom.
Chuck went to Pueblo today; i shouldn’t have to go til much later this month or even early Feb, depending on how the cat food holds out. 😺
So what did you and Chuck make for breakfast? I try to leave the house as little as possible.
Coffee/toast; washed a few leftover dirty dishes. Rick was only gone 35 mins; you know how fast that goes by. It’s very difficult to get anything done. And poor Chuck, with practically no time to make a pit stop. I’ve told him to use mine if necessary.
Yeh, 35 minutes is not enough time to do much.
Does Rick take a long time every day in the kitchen?
Oh yes! And every 15-20 mins FOR 15-20 mins
😁
😅 so true!
At least he does for himself.
😁
