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.

Well, Dutchess and I ate supper, then we played (she always wins). I took a shower, looked at the mail, checked the news 😩, and I think I will lie down and get my schedule straight. I’m wondering, maybe my brain is tired of the news, and sometimes when I watch the news it thinks about it for a few minutes and decides “I don’t need this crap, I’m going back to sleep.” And there I go to “night night” land. The kitchen is the only place where I watch or glance at the news, and the only place where… Read more »

Karen I’m sorry I missed you. I got up for about 30 minutes right after I posted to Gem, so I just barely missed you. Then I came back to my computer and searched how to watch the Federer thing. I never did find it, so I still don’t know. I forgot you watch tennis. ‘Karen I’m still concerned about you falling asleep at the table. Do you ever fear falling asleep when you drive? What kind of tests are they doing? I really hope you can solve this problem. I won’t you better. Love you and I hope you… Read more »

Oh so it was you Karen! Thank you for telling me, and thank you for telling me it was you! I can’t find where to watch it. Maybe it will be on YouTube. I can’t find it on YouTube tv which is how I get my tv.

Hi sweetie Butterfly! 🦋🌹I think I need a softer table. Trying to figure out now what I’m actually doing and what I’m going to do. Dutchess needs to eat, I think I need to eat, everything looks the same as I left it. All is well. I may not get back on for a little while, so I will probably miss you if you go to bed early. I haven’t checked any posts yet. If I do miss you, I hope you sleep well and have peaceful dreams, all while cuddling up with little Jade. Bye for now. Mwah! 🤗😘

😂 If feeling sleepy or very tired go to your bed and lay down, get comfortable sleep so you get sound sleep, might be sleep deprived and your brain is just tired and it needs to shut down, cat naps are not sound sleep

Hi Debbie. 🥰😘 Yes, we can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. There are no indicators of anything. 😥 But at least it doesn’t happen while I’m walking. I wish I had a little notice that it was going to happen, though.

I’m glad it never happens when you drive. You know Julie can’t drive because she had fainting spells. But I don’t think she slept a long time when she fainted. Julie? Did you?
Wish you had some warning. Does your husband ever find you, try to rouse you?

Hi sweet Debbie. 😉 It only happens at the kitchen table — I don’t know why. And no, my husband is always somewhere else when it happens. I’m pretty sure I’m sleeping and not fainting. I have dreams. It’s just the Twilight Zone I guess. That’s what it feels like. 😱😂🤣

Maybe just don’t sit at the kitchen table. Sit wherever you watch tv, like on a couch or recliner, or look at your phone or computer. At least maybe you will rest better.

Hi Lin. 🤗 No need to worry really, thank you. 😘This is something that’s been going on for a little while now. I keep falling asleep at the kitchen table for some reason. Not all the time, just every now and then. It’s just weird. A game of Now I’m here, now I’m not! Thank you for asking though, that’s very sweet. 😍

I hope your doctor can figure it out. That is a very mysterious symptom.

Julie, when I took a closer look I thought what looked like a newly hatched head was actually the right flank of the firstborn. I checked the You Tube chat and the evening viewers aren’t reporting it. So not sure if there is a hatch yet?
