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.
Rick made shrimp tacos with mango salsa and black beans tonight.
Oh boy do I want that. I would love that mango sauce I know, even tho I don’t know if I’ve ever had it. Bet it would be delicious with pork. Those shrimp look big.
Wow Ardyth that’s a beautiful dinner😋
Yum.
Hi Ardyth. 🤗 I’m not sure about this shrimp taco. What all do you have on that thar’ thing? 🤣
“All Creatures” on at 8 so I will be popping off in a bit
I know you enjoy that.
me too
I bet you are taping it.
I am
Love that show
The new season has started tonight is episode 2
Yes I watched the first episode already
Is that All Creatures Great and Small? I loved that show. I missed the rerun of the last season when I lost PBS giving up cable, Ws one of my favorite shows.
Oh no, Lin. Can you stream Sling or something to get some of the shows you might have lost? I use it, and I really like it. You may have explained this already, but I think I might have missed it. I’m sorry, I don’t want you to have to explain it twice.
I watched the first episode of the show last week, Julie. 😉I really enjoyed it, it’s such a warm, feel good show. I forgot about it being on last night. I’ll have to see if I can get it in a rerun. I just love the animals and how they are portrayed. 😍
Hello. Hope everyone is well. Wintry weather here. Going to get very very cold overnight. Errands done. Dropped off some things to my brother. Home now.
Hi ya Lin😍🖐
Hi Debbie. Is it super cold where you are? I’ve got cupboards open and a few faucets dripping. We are headed into subzero temps.
No touching metal outside without gloves or mittens or you will stick to it
I know!! My Dad who grew up on a farm in MI, told me his younger did that with his tongue on a dare in winter. My finger were so cold even with gloves when I was clearing snow by my garage back door.
Ugh. A Christmas Story.
I did it and not as a dare it happened when I walk through the gate to get to school way before I saw the movie, all winter long I walked pass the spot where my taste buds were frozen to the metal😂 I did this all by myself thought of it and did it, my Mom told us kids don’t stick things up your nose? hum an idea? so I stuck a bean seed up my nose had to go to the doctor and have it taken out😂I was a challenge as a child😂
Ha ha! You were boldly inquisitive!
I kept my Mom and Dad on their toes😂
Daughters will do that!
You are still a challenge. 😂
YES !!!!!! and proud of it stinker butt😜
I guess I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Oh Julie, I always wanted to try stuff like that, but I was too afraid. I made my brother do it. 🤣😅😂 He still loved me afterward. I was the true stinker. I feel kind of bad about it now, but he took it all in good humor. He was probably just as curious as I was, but never said anything. 🤗
Horrible cold for Julie and you Lin. We are 26 right now, I don’t know the overnight low.
26! A heat wave!
😁
Hi Julie. I see you are home now warm and snug. You melted my heart, what you did for that man. I did the same for a guy begging from the edge of the co-op lot today. When I told my neighbor (the one who loved Tr..mp, she chastised me and said such awful things about the man. He was madly talking to himself and singing. You and I know how cold it was today. I handed him money and told him I didn’t care how he spent it, I just wanted him to have it. He was missing alot… Read more »
Thats wonderful you helped today too😘No reason for putting down someone who is singing or talking to himself, people need to show more compassion towards others, show a little kindness even respect
I agree Julie. We don’t know what misery they are dealing with. And to have to be out in this cold!
I want to know what both of you did.
Helped someone out, with a little kindness😃
Ok you and Lin keep secrets.
What did Julie do for a man? And what did you hand……. There is no compassion with some people.
Julie helped someone who was alone, out in the cold today.
And Lin did too😘
You have a heart of gold Lin, but I already knew that. I wish there were more permanent ways to help people.
Hi Lin. Stay in, be safe.
Yes, ma’am! Staying in tomorrow.
Good. You can do paperwork 😁 and talk to us.
I’ve begun work on some writing projects Debbie so won’t be on very much. Stay warm!
Oh, I’m freezing just thinking about it! Glad you got in for the night early.
Julie: The chicken
That looks delicious. Lots of good meals there. It can be used in a lot of ways. Looks like a big chicken.
I’m excited about the fresh green beans😋better go check on them
Blue lake?
They are from Nicarargua, they look like blue lake they are nice and skinny and fresh, like fresh picked
That will be good.
Are you sure that’s not a turkey, Julie? It’s humongous!!!! 🤣
Looks kind of lonely😂
You didn’t want potatoes and carrots, onion?
Potatoes
I
cooked separate the chicken was close to done-didn’t want to over cook it
looks good Julie
Going to finish making dinner need to cook green beans
I thought you had tofu
Alert for tomorrow😱
Stay in.
Just have to see how the day goes? I will try to stay inside of corse
I’m ready🥶🙂 Got candles out and a lantern. My neighbor gave me some bulbs he got at Home Depot that stay on for 3 hours after electricity goes out..Cell charged. Just in case we lose electricity. Had to go all the way to Menards to get the animal and environment friendly salt I use. I should check with Ace Hardware to see if they carry it. They’re closer.
Hi Lin. 🤗 I didn’t know they had safe salt. I am definitely going to start using that. We don’t use it often, but every now and then, we will.
It is more expensive but there are so many dog walkers on my street and rabbits and squirrels that leap about so it made sense for me to use this salt rather than the standard sodium chloride. Here’s the brand I use.
Thank you! 😍
I’mback home, my feeders are filled, swept the snow off the side walk didn’t see anyone else out or animal, gave a guy a couple of bucks so he could go in Macdonalds and warm up get something hot to drink, it’s not weather to be hanging out in he just had tennis shoes on and his teeth were chattering, told him its going to be worse tomorrow he spent the night outside last night, I almost started crying it’s just so sad
😪How sweet of you.
you would of done the same, you just can’t ignore people when its so cold out-he just wanted to get warm and didn’t have any money to go spend some time in Mcdonalds, alot of homeless hang out there just to get warm, he might be able to find out info for a place to stay from other people I was thinking? do some networking
Well done !
Helpped him alittle thanks Gabi, it didn’t feel like it was enough, that’s why it was so sad
