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.

It was just legalized last year in Ky for only medicinal reasons. You must apply for a card to purchase. I think only one store is open yet in the state and I forgot where. Others coming soon I think. I’m not sure about the stuff that is not really true marijuana, like a hemp derivative. I think in some form that is legal for everyone.

Hi Pam sorry you have to replace the furnace. What kind of heat do you use in your area, and does the same unit heat and cool? I know this is an expensive venture. Glad you got the car recharged and ready to go. I was thinking another option is to get a trickle charge. They are cheap and small, but attaching them and unattaching them would be a hassle. It would take only like a minute to do it, but I suppose still a hassle if the hood had to be popped. They may be able to permanently attach… Read more »

The picture is what was inside. It is for a child. No one would have sent me that. There was an address on the box but no phone number. So I first looked up my credit card account… Read more »
