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 am missing clumps and clumps of posts. I find I have to refresh every 10 minutes in order to halfway keep up with what’s going on. But there are still missing posts. I discovered tonight that I missed over 2 hours of information. Sometimes when I refresh, I find that the missing information is from 10 minutes ago, and sometimes it’s from 2 hours ago. I don’t know what’s wrong, but I hope someone can help me figure it out. Imagine what it would feel like having a continuous telephone call with several people, and then finding out they’ve… Read more »
Karen sometimes you are replying or posting to a post from yesterday. The post from yesterday can come to the top today and the conversation continues. Then eventually it all goes back to where it originated yesterday. It can get confusing. So that may be why it seems your posts are missing. I saw posts to day where posts from the 13th and today are mixed together.
I have been real careful with that, Debbie. I seldom go back to the past anymore.Anytime I’m even thinking about going back to an earlier message I close out, and then come back and refresh again before going back to the current time. I have done everything I can do from this end and, you are right the days are even mixing up now. And I’m not so sure you have gotten all of my messages. I have not received replies for all of them.
Do you check for likes? Sometimes I read a post and can’t think of anything to say or add so I like so you will know I read it.
Yes I check for likes. The new messages are mainly the ones I don’t see, but there are some replies I don’t see also. I scroll through all the time looking for messages, then, all of a sudden, 5 to 10 pop up from an hour ago that I never saw. And these are continual occurrences. And, like I say, I am refreshing all the time.
I’m sorry Karen. I rely on my bell took me directly much and forget to check for posts not to me. But that is my fault. I just don’t know what to tell you.
Thats a good way, I do that too
I think I’ve seen all your posts to me.
No Debbie, nothing is your fault. It is happening overall. Now I am seeing a previous reply you sent to me at 10:05, coming after the new message I sent you at 10:23. It is just jumbled up, and factor that over many many messages and replies, and I just can’t keep up and like I said sometimes they don’t show up for a long time. But, not to worry. I will just go nuts for a while. It is not your fault and it is not just you. It’s the whole system. Maybe it just doesn’t like my phone.
Nothing wrong with your phone sweetie., even tho I do think it is harder to chat and scroll on a phone. Everyone seems to have some kind of issue with this format. Just hang in here. You are getting your posts and thoughts read. You are doing a good job.
Okay, thanks for that, Debbie. You know I will keep plugging along. I really enjoy it. I like all of it except for the confusion factor and that it makes me look like I don’t respond sometimes. 😩 But it is the best we have right now. And I’m sure they are doing their best will all the connections and languages etc. I hope you have a good night’s sleep. It’s late now for you. Thank you for staying up. Good night sweet Debbie. 😘 🤗 🌸
Good night Karen. You are a sweet lady with special gifts. I’m lucky to know you. Now you take care of yourself, love you. Have a good night, get some sleep.
No, I’m the lucky one, my Southern belle friend. You take me home. Sweet dreams. Love to you 🌹
Iwas having trouble yesterday Karen Marie, I don’t see posts all the time either, the blue ball doesn’t work all the time to follow the chat its just how it is😘 you can always post at the top and say your having trouble seeing posts and others will know 💖 don’t worry about it, we know your to sweet to ghost anyone🐞
Awhh. Thank you so much, sweet Butterfly. 🦋 I’m sorry you were having trouble too, but I’m glad I’m not alone. 😘 Yesterday was messy. 🤣
Aw . . . Thank you sweet Butterfly. 🦋 I’m sorry you were having trouble, but I’m glad I’m not alone. 😘 Yesterday was really messy. 🤣
I’m going to say good night. Curl up with my book. It was so nice spending time with you all. I may not be on tomorrow. I’ve got a consultation with my landscaper and have errands. Good night friends.b
Good night Lin. Enjoy your book. You better check in sometime! I’ll be gone I’m guessing between about noon to about 6.
Where are you going Debbie? I’ve been looking through posts and can’t find it.
😁. It took me a minute to figure out what you are talking about! Tomorrow Im going to Somerset to see Gastro doc. Routine except he told me last time it was time for my upper GI scope. Probably go to Walmart but I don’t need much. Get take out at Walmart.
Thanks Debbie. Was my question not directly under your reply to Lin saying you’d be gone from noon to 6:00? I hope your visit ends up being a pleasant one. Do you know when you will have your endoscopy?
It was but I was looking at your comment not the one before. My bell took me directly to it I wasn’t scrolling. I don’t know the date for the scope. I may not know tomorrow. They will probably say they will call me with the schedule.
Ok. Thanks. 🙂
I’ll try.
I hope your landscaper conversation is productive, Lin. Send him or her this way when you’re done. 🤣 Stay warm. Nite-nite. 😘
Thanks Karen!
I’m going for snuggles, just need to stretch out under the covers and Jade will come and lay down with me-so have a great night and see you in the morning😘
Good night Julie, prayers, hugs and love for you, Dad and family. Rest well, enjoy PBS or whatever. I think I’ll watch the daytime talk show special. I want to see all those shows down through the years.
Did you record that Debbie or is it on tonight?
I recorded it I think it is on now.
Ok. Ty.
There’s one on at 8:00 here on ABC, called: Dirty Talk: When Daytime Talk Shows Ruled TV. It’s 1 hr. I think it is going to be a weekly series. Not sure though.
That is it I think.
The AARP awards are on PBS
Oh, I’ll see if any shows up on Youtube. I don’t get PBS anymore.
I don’t have it. Both PBS have NOVA now, then Secrets of the Dead.
Does Jade have a teddy bear? 🤣 Snuggle up together, Julie. ❤️❤️ Think happy thoughts. Maybe, for a change, think about little baby gorillas trying to walk around banging their little chests while stumbling along and trying to look important. 😊 Sleep tight. See you tomorrow. 🙏 ❤️😍😘
She’s my teddy bear😂
🤣😅
🤣
Sleep well Julie. How lovely to snuggle up with Jade. Let that comfort drift both of you into a peaceful night.
Isabella Tiger Moth (previously a Woolly Bear Caterpillar) Yes, the width of the caterpillar’s band is thought to predict the severity of the winter. 😊 Just thought I’d show what the beautiful Woolly Bear Caterpillar actually turns into. Thanks for introducing me to this beautiful creature, Julie. 🤗
😍 the moth is pretty not sure if I have ever seen one? I see lots of the wolly bears though, will have to look them up and learn more about them Thank you Karen Marie😘
It’s not a large moth picture shows size, I will look for them this spring-summer
With the wings closed, I think I recognize seeing it.
Aw . . . actually on her finger. How cool is that!? Delicate little thing. Thanks Julie. 🥰 I will look for them too.
Just learning about the woolly bear caterpillar they can live up to 14 years, they eat any vegetation, clover, violet leaves and dandelion greens, that’s what my yard is made of
more info they grow slowly so it can take many years for them to mature, nature is full of wonders😍
That is amazing! It must be important to the world in some way to have such an ability to protect itself. Just thinking . . . .
I never knew this! Fascinating! Gives another reason to leave leaves alone through winter!
Wow, they live a long time! That in itself is fascinating! I have never seen one here. I will have to look closer, I have dandelions and stuff too. Nice picture! 🤣😘
I wonder if the 14 years include the moth stage?
Just the catterpillar
I bet the moth stage is short.
It’s gorgeous! So the little bear IS a weather predictor. Amazing how climate and environment affects development of living things.
Maybe the band is warmer so it is wider if cold weather is coming.
Maybe🙂Do you have woollies there?
I’ve seen them but not too often.
Have you had supper and Casey fed? What was dor supper?
Casey fed going after my supper in just a few. Left over chicken, kale, sweet potato.
What are you eating?
That sounds tasty and very healthy.
Pretty healthy. I add some sugar free bbq sauce.
That adds the zing you like. Does it have some kind of sweet in it?
I think sucralose.
That should add some sweet! Some Yin to the Yam😋
😂. Silly girl.
I got Vegetarian food last night from the Green Owl restaurant, I got the peanut bowl its veggies choice of tofu or tempeh I got the Tempeh it had sweet potatoes,kale potatoes over quinoa-a type of cooked grain and a very tasty, creamy peanut sauce it was delish😋
Sounds delish. Not sure about tempeh. 😏
Tempeh is tasty if flavored well.
I’ll take your word for it. Fermented soybeans. 😁
Kind of like tofu. It’s nasty plain but tasty if you flavor it up. I’m headed to bed to read. All the typing is aggravating my carpal tunnel. Have a good rest of the night Debbie!
Good night Lin. Jo had to wear a brace for carpal tunnel. It was from taking so many blood pressures. Have an enjoyable evening. I still think you need a furbaby.
I’ve been there. I think a several years ago. It was good.
There are all kinds of things we don’t know about so many creatures. So nice to hear about them. And they are gorgeous. 😉
True. I love being able to watch the cams here and observe so many living things. Alot of what we get to see is mind blowing.
I didn’t find out about the cams until I was introduced to Nancy and Beau at the Minnesota DNR cam back in March of ’23. I don’t like to think about all the time wasted not knowing about them. There is just so much. I’ve just started watching baby gorillas. They are so funny! They play almost every minute! Takes my mind off my problems.
Are the gorillas SPO?
No, they are just videos from all over the world. Lots of organizations create them. I usually click on baby gorillas playing as a search in youtube. Or I go to World Animal Wonders.
Thanks.
Sure
Thank you Karen, it is a pretty moth.
Oh it is. You’re welcome Debbie. 🤗
Good evening…DH left for his cemetery meeting, he put a lot of time into preparing for it. Lunch with my cousin was good…usually I get an omelet but instead got a BLT and chicken shell soup. We talked for a couple hours…was nice to get out for a bit but so cold..back to winter for awhile. Maybe I’ll read while he’s gone..when I get hungry I have leftovers from lunch.
Hi Lynn, glad you had a good visit with your cousin.
this morning I didn’t think we’d go..had a snow squall and it was sooo cold and windy but later it settled down a bit, still cold though.
Good evening Lynn glad you 2 made your lunch date-I haven’t been out of the house today it feels like 1right now we will go to negative digets tonight, I just hate the wind Brrrrrr……
Hi Julie…when we went to lunch it was “feels like 0” ..I wore a turtleneck under a flannel shirt and felt fine, well inside at least and wasn’t out long. yes the wind is what makes it bad…
Julie, it makes me cold just even thinking about negative digits!!! I know it gets colder there than it does here.
You did enough out of the house yesterday for a week!
Hi Lynn. 🤗 Sometimes it’s just nice to stay home and cozy up in the winter. Too cold to go out!!
Thats how I feel😘
🎶 These are a few of my favorite things 🎶’ Heavy Granny nightgown, flannel pants, robe, jacket, socks, and slippers. They help me to feel cozy before bed. I still have to get an electric blanket. I keep forgetting for some reason.
yes to granny nighties! I have a hard time finding ones that are long like I like them. But I found some at a local store and bought more from them online. i don’t get the 100% cotton any more because the fabric gets those gnarly round little balls after awhile. I get the cotton polyester blend. Super soft and almost down to my ankles…lol.
Yep, same here, Lin. The really soft ones. Just wrap myself right into it. And during the Spring and Summer I don’t have to wear the pants and the jacket and so on. Very comfy!
I wear them like a house dress when I’m hanging out at home during the cold season. I’m all for comfy🙂
Me too, in the warmer months. My pretty ones come out then. 😅
I think nightgowns would drive me nuts, lol…I like pj pants and sometimes just the top I wore that day but I do have some tops that I consider pjs.
I know, but I did..
I’ve never had a bag item like Danny ↓↓
I had a bag item last night😂
Okay, I’ll give in. What was your bag item, Julie?
😂 it was Jade I took stuff out of a bag and Jade jumped right in😹
🤣😅 ❤️ I bet that was so funny!
😁😁🤣
😂😂
Dad was moved today to Washburn, he fell because he had a stroke, his brain is healing. Poor Dad
Julie, this means they figured out what originally happened, right? So your Dad can now be treated for it. Am I correct in that he had another fall, or did they decide that the previous fall was from a stroke? I know you know, I am really praying 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for your family. I’m so sorry this is happening, but I’m glad he’s in good hands. I wish there was something I could do for you. 🌹🩷
You understand what I know, yes, the stroke was the fall in the bathroom, thanks for your prayers😘
You’re welcome Julie. I am glad to hear that they have figured out what the problem is. Now they know how to help him. How is your Mom handling the news?
Karen Marie I didn’t say hello Lady Bug😘🐞 I just talked to her, she sounds good, but I think she thought he was staying at the hospital for a while because they said he could
That’s okay Julie, I felt it. I didn’t call you sweet Butterfly 🦋😘 either. Worry does that. Do you and your Mom feel better knowing what the problem is?
Helps us understand more what happened, but he was already on heart medication blood thinners ECT. -but a stroke can just happen right out of the blue
He doesn’t have AFIB does he?
Oh Julie 🙏🙏
Hi Pam, thank you😘
Oh Julie I’m so sorry. Was he moved into another hospital or a nursing home? That explains why he thought he was in bed. But his brain is healing, he knew you had called him, he was able to complain about the food, always a good sign. Hugs for you and your family. Love you.
sorry, Julie…is Washburn a rehab place?
Nursing home/rehab
He got moved to a nursing home in Washburn
I’m glad they got him into a rehab place. He will probably be there 21 days with follow-up by home health. Is it any closer to your Mom than Ashland?
