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.

I, home and scared, Ice is not far from where I live-they are at the airport, I’m ready to take a stand, this crap is in my city just miles away-makes me sick to my stomach. Other than this gloom, I had a beautiful day…..

Julie I feel your anger and your dismay! I pray young people rise up like my generation did in the sixties and seventies. I can’t march anymore. I just make ranting calls to my representatives and write letters. I am so incredibly worried for this country. HE who we can’t name here is the devil incarnate. And his minions who encourage him in his ear. Our democracy, our freedoms are disappearing right in from of our eyes, I am terrified we are headed for civil war – what happened in Minnesota and how He and his buddies view it, is… Read more »

We have been home for an hour and a half and I am tired….. all went well, a lot of time spent in the car……and a few stops along the way.
We had lunch at IHOP and I even forgot to take a picture of my burger and fries. Rick thought we were going to run out of gas but we made it home to get gas at Fry’s.
So I am saying goodnight.

It’s called the Tucson weekly. It tells you all about the things that are happening in Tucson that week. And Rick picks one up every week to read so he picked one up for Lynn when we were in the dispensary. I was holding it over my fat. I don’t know what Rick was doing. Just holding it I guess

Hi / Goodnight, Ardyth. 🤗 I hope you had a nice time. How scary, having to worry about running out of gas! I can tell she is Rick’s sister. Very nice picture. I hope you sleep well — tell us all about it tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’ll envision your burger and fries. 😅🤣

Hi Karen!! Not much to tell, picked her up at the airport, had lunch, went to grocery store and Dispensary since it isnt legal in South Dakota, she wanted to experience buying it……lol

Hi Ardyth. Sounds like a nice visit. I forget how different it is for folks who live in “illegal” states. Nice experience for her.

We now have legal medicine marijuana. You have to get a card to buy and I guess prove you have a qualifying medical need. They only have one store in the state open, the stores have been delayed. There was a lottery thing to get a few stores. We lucked out, we are supposed to get one.

Geeez, Debbie. I’m so used to recreational being legal here. Very expensive, but legal anyway. I forget lots of states still don’t have that. It’s better than alcohol. At least you’re getting some medicinal stores. Better than nothing.

I know, it’s nice that you don’t have to worry about it. 🥰 I wish they would just go ahead and get it over with and make recreational legal everywhere, and make alcohol illegal.

I read one thing that even said it is safer to drive high on marijuana necause people are more aware they are high and are more careful than people high on alcohol.

And they might not let you have it if you’re on certain other medications. I don’t know what those medications are — they are different for everyone.

I don’t think I’m on anything that might conflict, I don’t know. Blood pressure, rheumatoid Orencia, blood thinner, Wegovy, omeprazole, magnesium. The rest over the counter. Rheumatoid is a reason to have the card so I doubt the medicine conflicts.

Those cards used to be expensive and had to be given out with a prescription from your doctor. We never bought any but that’s what I heard. No need for Rick to buy any lol

The card is free, I have no idea the cost of the product.
