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.

To me if it doesn’t have marinara it isn’t really pizza and needs another name.

They’re bats; they live in caves and can’t hang upside down with clipped nails, nothing to hold on to — Hi Karen

It was an “I told you so”. The moral being don’t clip your nails if you want to take a nap in your cave

I dont understand a lot of them but I think these are bats that do hang upside down. The joke is he clipped his toenails so he could not hang on.

Hi Pam. 5 inches of snow not to bad. But if it is rain that sounds horrible!
What is white pizza? Ranch sauce maybe?

Hey Gem. This little hummingbird’s nest is quite bright and colorful. And she is very pretty. I am glad they are on their way home also. It has been a long visit for them and a long absence for us. 😥

Good morning Bella Buds and a good day to you. Make your day better. Don’t watch any news! Alas, I have never been able to do that. I have had a busy week so far. Somerset Monday and doc, doc Tuesday, cook Wednesday. I’m sure I will get in to something today, but I’m not telling myself you gotta do this today. I just made an appointment with the doctor the podiatrist wants me to see. I was very surprised they answered the phone with no menu, no press 1 for, and that I got an appointment for February 25.… Read more »

Hey Debbie 😘. It sounds like you are going to relax for a little bit today. That sounds good. I am going to do that too, now that I am done with the business stuff. I have to watch the news, so that I know what’s happening before it sneaks up on me. And, I know I’m probably going to want to drink or toke, but it lets me know I’m not the only one worrying about things. I want to let you know that I really appreciate you passing on info from Julie and others. 🥰 Are you going… Read more »

Hi Karen the news has been bothering me and living with someone whose views are opposite mine doesn’t help! We have news on a lot. We watch all three network news every night and have CNN on a lot of the day. 😁. I had to google toke! 🤣. Yep, left over soup tonight, probably tomorrow night!
