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.

Back for a minute…the frisbee was found…he thinks when she takes it in the ravine it rolls down the hill, it was half way down. We have had a couple disappear before, maybe raccoons is our guess. DH is taking a gift bag to the caregiver after work (one more gift bag left after that ) and will pay her…so we’ll see what time he can get away from there and if he wants to go out for a bit.

Good late morning…had some white Christmas coffee this morning. We have a little dusting of snow on the ground, not much. When DH took Scout out his morning, they couldn’t find her frisbee..he even saw the circle in the snow where it had been. Sometimes we can’t find one, so we’ll see..maybe he’ll look some more at lunch time. I’ll see if DH wants to go to a restaurant later but we don’t usually do that on weekend nights. I like to leave around 5:30-6 otherwise it just is too late. Not sure yet what I’m doing today, maybe some… Read more »

I imagine some wild animals are curious about toys. I could see a raccoon doing that.

hiya Juile, we got about 3 or 4 inches of snow last night and now it’s getting windy and blowing it around, so I’ll just stay home until it calms down

Good morning Bella Buds. Cloudy, 35. Already a little warmer than yesterday’s high. I just washed yesterday’s dishes which I usually have left over when we are gone the bulk of the day. Most of the dishes were Casey’s. Y’all have a good day.

Good Morning Bellas, its a snowy morning out there and the sound of shovels just looks like a couple of inches that’s nothing😂I’m in awe over Maria Corina Machado, giving her Nobel Prize Medal away what this woman won’t do for her country? its just the medal a material thing, she will always have it in history that she won it, so that won’t change. Because the award comes from the commitee-she’s just trying to keep her country and citizens safe, she’s a living martyr for her country and her people 💖 Have a great day, not sure what I’m… Read more »

Maybe you will feel better by Sunday, but you would need to wear a mask. You may have a low grade fever. I’m sorry you feel bad, especially with Lynn in town.

Good morning Sunshine. Bet it is pretty outside. Of course, you see so much snow you probably don’t notice. I agree with all your words about Machado, she is still the Nobel winner, and deserving so. But she wants to remain on the good side of the USA to further help her country. Get that fridge cleaned out and all ready for the big shopping spree.
