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.

Ok my dear friends I’m in bed and need to settle. I have enjoyed our lively chat, acorn people and just being with the people I care about. Wish you a peaceful, good night and love to all.

Lin isn’t sick. I think I took it as such. Just not feeling good about the squirrel I do believe. I know you’re in bed, but just want to clear that up too. Lot’s of things to dream about tonight. Maybe you’ll be flying somewhere and bump into Karen Marie with flying monkeys too.

Controversy not about Amber Glenn who came in number one tonight. Amber Glenn was born on October 28, 1999 in Plano, Texas. She started skating at the age of 5 in Plano before relocating to Euless in 2016.

I finished watching the ice skating and then somehow ended up on YouTube watching Monkey World videos for a bit. Those characters sure are a lot like us. I love watching baby gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans play. I can’t help but laugh when I watch them. 🥰

Agree- she was awesome! The work she and Fossey did have us so much understanding about primates.

I am but I can’t stop looking at the becorns. Go to his web page and click on the explore, if you go to videos there are about 5 to click on and he shows the interactions. Each one is not very long but just makes this bit of nature art more warm. Things so simple turning into something that just grabs your heart. Makes you take more time when you are out in the yard and that acorn you just swore at because you stepped on it. Now I’ll be thinking of those little becorns and cry. I still… Read more »

Unbelievable. Remarkable. This guy has a real talent and imagination. He makes it all look so real. You find the best things. Was it you that posted those, I’m trying to think, maybe clear ornaments with wildlife inside them. I think the most neautiful things I’ve ever seen. I want them but I don’t know what I’d do with them.

Thanks. No Ardyth posted those. I wanted one too, but when I checked out the website I think it was bogus. I was hoping to find an event that he would be doing. None right now, but he did one a couple of years ago at a place in the town my sister and nieces live in, also where my mom was in a nursing home. I knew nothing about him until today. My BIL also graduated from RISD, but he is my age so much earlier than David. I’ve booked marked his site so I can go check it… Read more »

I don’t think it is about where she was born, but the fact she is pansexual. I’m just shaking my head. It is the only thing that seems to be an issue. Just a few articles mentioning that she mentioned something to that affect. Nothing to do with her skating what so ever. Now I’ll go look at the little becorns again. They don’t care and neither do I about that stuff.

You are so funny, GEM. I think it does have to do with her citizenship, I found something on it. I’ll go back to watching monkeys in a few minutes. 😂🤣

I thought you were talking about Amber Glenn that was the last skater who ended up being number one. Now I have to see which one you posted about above. The top 3 were all sitting together at the very end. Thanks for clarifying which one.

I think she has applied for citizenship, but I think she did it too late. I’m not sure though I don’t know the whole story yet.

Who: Alisa Efimova (born Finland) & Misha Mitrofanov (US citizen). What: Defended their US Pairs title at the recent National Championships. The Issue: Efimova needs US citizenship for the Olympics; she’s married to Mitrofanov (US citizen) and has a green card but not a passport. Urgency: The US Olympic team announcement is Sunday, creating a tight deadline for her citizenship approval. Efforts: U.S. Figure Skating, their training club (Skating Club of Boston), and Senators (Markey, Warren, Cruz) are working to expedite her citizenship, possibly through an act of Congress, as standard processes are too slow. Competitors: Ellie Kam & Danny… Read more »

You’re welcome. I don’t know why they didn’t get this resolved sooner, if she’s married to this guy.

Oh I heard something about that, but wasn’t sure which skater. Thanks. I though you were talking about the female single skater, not a pairs skater. That’s why I was researching Amber Glenn. Got it now. Since they know the rules for the Olympics why wasn’t someone pushing this through weeks ago?

I know me either and I grew up in RI and have family there. The article was in a magazine from New England and I’m surprised he wasn’t mentioned before. I have thousands of acorns around my property every year and curse them for many reasons. This year I’m going to make a little becorn person. I have things with seeds, berries, grasses and what nots. As a matter of fact there is an area that still has some acorns sitting there, the deer didn’t find. I will throw some over to another area for them if the snow melts… Read more »

Debbie, I will always have problems, but they usually don’t get in my way. Until the last couple of years. But I will prevail. I didn’t know Lin was sick either. I don’t recall her mentioning it.

That is neat that you are going to try to make some Becorns, GEM. If I didn’t have so much going on right now, I might also. It sounds like fun. Yes, I plan on going to bed in about 15 minutes. Maybe a little longer. How late will you be up?
