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.

Julie: Jade.
Awww the baby is sleeping.
she’s all snuggled in on a cold day.
She’s all snuggled in getting a little sun shine too shes sleeping on her self warming heating pad
So the pad absorbed her heat?
It does it has like a plastic layer that heats up by body heat so its a lot warmer than just a blanket or pet bed
I wonder if it would help stray cats.
There she is, she’s sleeping on her new non electric self warming heat pad, she loves it😻 thanks for posting her Debbie
This is the brand of the pad, I got it at the pet store but you can order them from Chewy
I got the gray and black one, they are machine washable too😍
Nice. Jade is in luxury.
I didn’t know they made these pads? or I would of gotten one for Gypsy for her old age, has to make the joints feel better they make them for dogs too😍
Thank you! 💗 I’m off to check these out. This may be better than what i have for the clowder
Oh my gosh Pam I didn’t think about the clowder, I’m glad I posted this😍😻I do think it would work good
i just looked at amazon, it looks like i bought one in Oct of 2024; i wonder what the heck i did with it. 🙄
Did you get it?

Good late morning…it’s cooold out..have a petsitting job, one kitty..will take a book and other things to do and I’ll hang out awhile with my buddy…or I can watch tv…DH will be here some of the time with ours…had apple crumb coffee today, just one cup, and then some tea my cousin gave me for Christmas, cinnamon spice. Think I’ll make some tea and put in my travel mug to take with me. It was kind of a bummer about the Bears game…my mom was bummed, too…
Good morning Lynn. Do you have to spend as much time with the kitty as with dogs? The kitty is lucky to have you as his/her sitter. Your coffee and tea sound good. I really should drink more tea.
I’m going to spend a lot of time there because I want to…don’t have to but they appreciate it.
I’m sure.
It’s like having a mini vacation😍
yes 😀
New surroundings are always nice
Good chilly day Lynn the wind is bad, have fun taking care of kitty, it will be happy to see you😍 I was rooting for the Bears
😍
i was rooting for the Bears too
Good morning Bella Buds we got down to I think 7 overnight but we are up to 30 now. I just heard on news that the Greenland crisis is tied to the Nobel Peace prize. Wow. I know I can’t speak further. I need to cook something I guess today, probably something easy, order Macie some wet food, I have a new “pile” I need to work on. It will take some sorting out, deciding what to keep and throw. I tend to hold on to some things I probably should just let go. Like a CD of my hip… Read more »
Good morning Debbie, this and that day for you. I’m warm and Jade is too😍 Birds are hitting the feeders hard, will have to fill them again today
You do good to feed them. Wear a ski mask and your warmest gloves.
I put out extra yesterday with the cold coming…and a new suet cake.
I have some piles to work on too, this winter.
Karen Marie good Morning Lady Bug😍🐞whats going on for you today?
Thank you Julie. Reminds me of the song, “Abraham, Martin and John.” 🎶 Anybody here, seen my old friend . . . 🎶
Valentino. An orangutan that was rescued as a baby and is being trained to be an orangutan so that he can be reintroduced to the wild. The school, in Borneo, has classes for baby, child, teen and then adult orangutans. They spend years training them so they know how to survive on their own. Valentino is my favorite. He is the class clown. Can you tell by his sweet little face?
These babies have lost their homes and family due to forest fires, poaching, loss of habitat and disease.
Such a struggle they go through, They are with their Mothers for 8-12 years they are taught by their Mothers-they really suffer at the loss of their Mother
Yes, Julie. This place teaches them how to crack open coconuts, how to use tools to get into the ground to get bugs, how to do totally everything. It is so amazing to watch them in classes, just like little kids. And they so want to learn.
They are more like humans than people realize
Sad. They are so smart.
Thats why I hate seeing them in zoos
I don’t mind as much in good zoos and feel it brings awareness and people have more empathy toward them and wanting to protect them.
Some zoos have some very good environments for the animals. It isn’t ideal, but many human have it a lot worse.
He’s just a little guy, wonderful people doing this work😍 to give them a chance at living wild, in the trees where they belong
I wish I could work there.
That really would be something😘
Julie. I got the idea of posting Valentino’s picture after I saw your picture of Norma Jean. She is really beautiful! 😍
I’m glad you posted Valentino, its good to learn about the good things that are happening😍
Awwwwwww. He does look sweet.
