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.

The Globe show is Sunday. What is tonight is like an “Eve” show. They are honoring Helen Mirren and oh I can’t get the right name but part of it is Parker.

I literally used to have dreams of levitating inside a room. Seems in the dream I had to concentrate on doing it and staying up, going around the perimeter of the room at the ceiling. Sorta floating.

I can kind of feel that, Debbie. I dream that I’m flying, like Superman. I go all over the world. The first time I flew I went to my grandmother’s house. Sometimes I have trouble staying up high enough. But I haven’t flown in a while, for some reason. What a feeling!

😂 Nope – I was sober! I flew all the way from here to Alabama, with both of my arms held straight out, following Rudolph. I remember flying over some drive-in movie theaters and thinking about picking up a couple of audio boxes, for some reason. My dreams can get really crazy! 🙃🙂🙃🙂

So the old one isn’t working at all. You might light the one we got. It is garage ready, I wonder if that would make a refrigerator better insulated and stronger. They don’t come with ice makers, you have to order them separately.

Hmm.. garage ready? I haven’t heard of that. I don’t need an ice maker, nothing fancy. Just a good working refrigerator/freezer. What kind did you get? Current fridge is working somewhat, but not reliable enough.

I will check out a garage ready fridge and see if it might work for me. September October was the time frame when Mr. Husband was having so many problems. Sometimes I just get so much on my mind I can’t remember stuff. I do listen to you though, you are one of my mentors. 💐 I was just watching Zohran Mamdani and his wife.

I’m glad to see Julie’s home! Welcome back Julie 💕 Think I’ll watch the women’s skating tonight, I should call my mom and let her know, so she has something to watch on this rainy night.
