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.

Good night Julie. 💤 Enjoy your show and sleep well. 😘🌸
Enjoy the food and tv. I’m so happy your Dad is getting good care! You should sleep very well! Good night Moonbow see you tomorrow.
Julie, do people raise painted butterflies?
You can raise any butterfly and yes there’s a video about it, and how to do it
Thanks, it seems I only hear about Monarch’s.
Monarchs are easy because you can find the eggs and Carter pillars and they have one food sorce-milkweed, plus they are endangered with the loss of habitat. Painted Lady’s are not just in North America they are in Europe too
Thanks for the explanation.
we have painted ladies up here the migrate south for the winter, I don’t really know much about them?
More than me! I didn’t even know their name.
I have tons of wild milkweed in my yard, in the areas I have not been able to maintain correctly. I didn’t realize it could be a gift to a butterfly.
Don’t cut it down!
Happy Sunday! What’s left of it anyway. 🥰 I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, I am feeling so much better. I think I am almost well. I am blessed in having comrades like y’all wishing me well and encouraging me. 😘 I know it helps. I did not know about Gabi’s procedure. It is a complex procedure, but it is good to have one. Maybe they can figure out whatever is bothering her and fix it. I remember having one and it was a scary thing. I am praying for her with all of you. Julie, I… Read more »

Hi Karen🙂 Finally we are at on the same time🙂 I’ve been doing this and that around the house and given I’vecbeen up since 5 this morning, my steam may be running out. I’ve just sat down with a bowl of spaghetti for supper and thought I’d check in here. I am glad to hear you continue to feel better!! I wouldn’t wish the flu on my worst enemy. Well let me take that back. There are a few people residing in D. C… Catch my drift😄 Gabi will love your kind words. She is nervous about it.
Hi Lin, thank you, nice to see you finally. ☺️ I bet you are tired, getting up at 5 AM !! Nice productive day for you, though. The spaghetti meal should wrap it all up very nicely. Sounds really tasty right about now. I’m truly feeling better, finally. As far as the flu goes, I’ll send my D.C. wishes with yours. 😂 I know Gabi is nervous, I was too. The main thing is just to stay still, and everything will be fine. I thought about birds, butterflies, and the ocean during my procedure. It helped. I hope you got… Read more »
I watch the monitor during the procedure!
Wow! I didn’t have the option, it was turned away from me and I was too afraid to even think about watching it. It was about 20 years ago. How many of these have you had?
I think just one Cath but two heart ablations which are very much more. I was out for the first ablation at least 3 hours. Active on the table that long it doesn’t include recovery.
I have never had an ablation. I hope I never have to. It really doesn’t sound like anything great to go through. I remember you having your last one.
It is not bad to go thru. You can do just about everything the next day. I think there was a 2 week restriction of lifting more than 10 pounds. And you are not awake. It just seems more scary, they are zapping in your heart. But I think it is very safe.
Things are a bit messy as I am still pulling things out of drawers and cabinets, etc. I’m going room to room and getting rid of stuff. i love spaghetti, especially in Fall and Winter. It’s so warming in the tummy and soul😋 Yep, I think Gabi will do fine. The sedative will help relax her. I “go to the ocean” too when having a procedure. I literally bring up memories of walking a beach and I can smell the wet sand and hear the ocean. Really helps.
Oh Karen it makes me feel so good to hear you are doing better. It has been such a long road for you. How wonderful. And you got to talk with your granddaughter that is so great. Maybe you two can regain a good relationship.
Thank you Debbie. It kind of feels like “everything’s coming of roses” for me at the moment. 🌸 This granddaughter and I were always very close while she was growing up, but her mom got carried away and took the kids away to Las Vegas years ago and told bad stories about the family. She has been on drugs for several years. Anyway, this now matue adult grandbaby has finally figured out what happened and wants to renew the relationship. Looking good so far. 🤗
Makes me want to cry. Bad tears for years lost. But many more good tears for reuniting and the years to come. How old is your granddaughter, and do you ever talk to your daughter?
I’m going to try and answer this again, I keep getting kicked off.
Many tears. I had kids when I was young, and so did my daughter. Kayla is 32. I doubt my daughter and I will ever talk again, as she is still on drugs. Kayla is unable to talk to her any more either. The other grandchild, Brianna, is 30, and is still involved in the mire.
I’m sorry for all this Karen and I understand. Pretty much the same thing my sister Tina has with her first born and those grandchildren. Wonderful you are back with Kayla and I hope it comes with Brianna.
Thanks Debbie. I’m hoping for success also, of course.
I think it will happen.
When we were at the cemetery for the words from our pastor for my mom a painted lady flew by us.
What does it mean to see a painted lady butterfly?
In many traditions, Painted Ladies are believed to carry messages from loved ones who have passed away, or to symbolize the soul itself.
Wow, Ardyth – that is so awesome! I saw a painted lady butterfly the day of my mom’s funeral. It was such a spiritual gift for me.
Hi Karen Marie
I went to a friends funeral a month ago outside and I saw one flying around too.
Hi Debbie. So nice that your friend was saying hello. 😍 I don’t remember hearing about this friend passing away. Was this someone really close to you? Or I have I just totally lost my mind and don’t remember or didn’t see the post?
She was a church friend. It was a month ago or so
She must have felt very close to you.
That was Ardy, not me.
Okay, I got confused again. Sometimes the notifications I get don’t match up with the flow of the chat, and I can’t determine who’s responding to what.
That happens to me too, especially if several people respond to the original post. Sometimes it is hard for me to figure out.
Hi Ardyth. That is so special that your loved ones are able to send a message to you. Such a warm feeling. 💖
Hi Lady Bug😘🐞 wonderful gifts from nature💕
Hey sweetie! 🦋 😍 They truly are. I am going to try and raise some this year. Starting to get excited about it.
It’s a beautiful journey to go on here’s lots of videos on Youtube to watch about raising them one guy I think his last name is Ludd, just look up raising Monarchs the videos are fun to watch😍
Thanks Julie. I will look up the videos. I’m also talking to a couple of gals on the SPO site who are doing it also. Lots to learn! I get to feel like a Mom again! Without 18 years of worry! 🤣😅
Beautiful.
How lovely that your beloved Mom sent the Painted Lady to say “hi” 💗
😘It was and she loved butterflies.
This was her bathroom, she actually had more and butterfly towels
That was beautiful.
My mother for a long time had these little butterflies in her living room on the wall, long before my Dad died. She went through several moves, and I would see the butterflies back up on the wall. Even when she wasn’t in the best of shape, there were the butterflies. After she died I told my sisters the only thing I wanted was those butterflies. They hang here and I see them as I type.
Aw . . . , Debbie. Makes me cry. Such a special reminder of your dear Mom ❤️
I had large wood/cloth butterflies on my back patio in Phoenix; they were pretty well protected by the patio roof, but they were out there for 15 years.
Nice Pam. Bet they were pretty.
I see the towels in the mirror. They are pretty.
oH I do too, thanks
🙂 – I wish I could decorate like that. Simple, yet elegant and beautiful. I always get too cluttered.
I wouldn’t have caught it, but I had to magnify to see how beautiful everything was. 🙂
So very pretty😍
Oh my, this is so very pretty 🦋🦋💝
Thats for the Monarchs too😘 when they return to Mexico its the dead coming home💖 That so beautiful that that happened for you😍
Yes it was thanks
I’m glad it happened
Really its special, I felt that way when the hawk flew right past me low to the ground after my brother died
😯
A hawk is a native American sign
Oh, that would have blown me away!
It did I swear it was him to say he was OK😘
I believe it. You are kindred spirits. 🥲
😍
What a wonderful sentiment. I believe in it, and so does Dolly! Julie saw a butterfly when she lost Michael. Tina didn’t see a butterfly but two things happened, one I saw and pointed it out.
I released a Monarch for Micheal-I had the hawk fly by me
I really thought you saw a butterfly too, but I do think that was at home.
😘
That is so special Ardy, a winged messenger from above. How long since your Mom passed?
😘
Didn’t mean to be intrusive by my ask. You may not have shared that here. Sorry Ardy.
😁
😂Thats a good one
😆I thought you would like it.
I really like that Ardyth. Sometimes I really get the urge to be bada$$ !! 😂
😂
yes!!
Prayers for Gabi’s procedure/surgery tomo 🙏
Thats really nice Pam😍
Amen🙏🏻 Thanks for posting Pam. Beautiful.
