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.
Hi ladies. I’m glad everyone is okay, as far as I can tell. 😘 I’m sorry to hear about Judy’s brother and Nancy’s heating situation. Otherwise it seems like we are all making it — some better than others. I have been out of commission since sometime Friday night, after talking to y’all, when I took a sleeping pill. My doctor told me Friday morning that, based on my latest test results, he does not think I am not getting the right kind of sleep. So he advised me to take a sleeping pill. I have never needed to take… Read more »
Oh dear Karen that must have been a powerful pill. It does sound like they will do a sleep study. It will be interesting to know what the doctor says. Maybe they will get to the bottom of why you fall asleep at the table.
Hi Debbie that’s why the doctor told me to try sleeping pill, because of my falling asleep at the table and tests reveal nothing so far.
Over tired, your brain shuts down because its saying woman I’m going to sleep like now💤
Hi Lady Bug🐞 you need to also get yourself on a sleeping plan and you need to set a time to not look at bright screens and let your brain relax. Also you can take melatonin that just helps you fall asleep you can find it in the pharmacy by the vitamins it makes you sleepy but doesn’t zonk you out for a long time. I take this sometimes if I can’t fall asleep, but stopping screen time and hour before you go to bed does help let your brain go to sleep
Hey Butterfly! 🦋 Yes, I do need to get on a definite schedule. Been working on that for a little while. I will talk to the doctor tomorrow about melatonin. Sounds like it might be a good idea.
It works good no side effects and our bodies naturally make it, we just have less of it when we get older-do ask him about it😘
The melatonin is a waste of money in my opinion.
I read studies with melatonin , they said it helps some people to fall asleep 5 minutes faster than without it. It never helped me. Didnt help anybody i know.🤷♀️.
…but it might help YOU, who knows.🙂
It worked for me and I still use it some times, our body naturally makes it
Yesyes , i know how it “works”. Makes good money for the ones selling it. We have them extra strong here, nobody i know ever said it helps. It helped you ? I know that it is a natural substance in our body. Well, glad you like it and good when it helps you.
Wow Karen, I wouldnt want to take anymore of those pills!💊
Take a half one even or Melatonin works really good and its something our bodies naturally make, I think we just make less when we get older?
It’s so fun getting old.
😂 silly girl- to many things to remember as things change😂
I dont know anybody who said that melatonin worked. To me that’s not doing anything.🤨 money for nothing.
I read the other day not to take it…..
Right. Good morning dear ardy.😘😍
No, I won’t be taking those. I don’t like not knowing what I’m doing or what I did a few minutes ago.
Hello……………I went to church and to the $ tree. Then we went to lunch with Lynn, Jamie, Mike and Scott.
How is everyone holding up in the storm????
I saw a million people are w/o power and 16,000 flights cancelled
Hi Ardyth, no storm for me just cold, so you and Lynn got to go for lunch, not sure who the other folks are, hope you had a nice lunch😋
Jamie and Scott are his “steps” and Mike is Jamie’s husband
I got Mongolian beef…
Y’all look like you are having a good time with good food.
Food was great!!!
I’m glad Ardy.
It’s so good you could all get together😍 and I do love Mongolian Beef, love the onions and the heat😋 good comfort food
I picked out the heat, too much for me!!
To tell the truth I have to be in the mood to eat it, heat
Glad you arent getting a storm like everyone.
I have delt with a couple of storms up north and don’t need to go through any more this year.
We are getting more ice build up. I know it is coming.
😯
🫂.
Heavy snowfall here right now. Soon midnight. DH has to drive to work tomo at 6:30 am. Hope the roads are cleared then. Byeee.😴
Oh dear and early to. Does he ever get off for weather reasons?
No. People try to go to work. I guess if it is too bad ,then they call work and stay home. I dont remember that this has ever happened to DH.
I told him to stay home tomorrow when the roads are horrible. He normally – when roads are good – drives to work about 1 hour one way.
With ice and snow and not really cleared roads it can be dangerous. Will see.
Oh I thought you lived in that apartment so he would be close to work. An hour drive is not close at all.
That was the reason for us to move here. He normally drives an hour and when it is really going good traffic wise maybe 50 min. one way .
Before he had to drive like almost 2 hours and the rather small road was in woods and fields. Its better now.
He works close to Frankfurt, we didnt want to move closer to this city. Its not really a good city.
I understand. This was a compromise between living in the city and too far away. That is still a long way to drive every day.
Yes. He will be glad when he will be retired. Around 2 years from now.
Could take him hours to get there, can’t drive normal speed to get there
Yes you are right. We/he will see tomo.
Hi www, bye www. 🤗 I hope you rest well and that the roads aren’t too bad tomorrow. Snow is so beautiful, it’s so sad that it has to cause trouble. Well, on the brighter side, it provides moisture, anyway. We would not have any water here at all in Colorado if not for the snowfall drain from the mountains in the Spring. Anyway, sleep good, and have wonderful dreams. 🌹
Yes, one side is GOOD snow for water, other side is BAD snow for traffic , power and safety.
So you are from colorado like pam. When my DD was a baby, there were still a lot of american soldiers stationed in germany. Also in the town where we lived. An american soldiers german wife was my DD’s babysitter while i was at work. Years later they went back to the States and she lives in colorado springs now.
I am glad that your sleep gets checked out now.
Nite karen.
Hope he can get out, the snow must be so pretty😍
Yes it does look pretty. Hoping the best for the roads.
NO NO NO and again No!!! no more rain
We still have power.
Good
Good
👋🤓
😮☹️
Good afternoon here…I’ve had the weather channel on, like to see/listen to Jim Cantore. DH shoveled, there was only maybe an inch and possibly up to an inch more this afternoon. My mom now has someone to shovel (a dad and son from her church)…kind of wish my DB could still do it but….anyway…DH went to a talk/presentation at a local museum and we might possibly go out afterwards…like to Kroger, maybe get a bite to eat. I need to warm up my tea..
So you aren’t a museum person? Enjoy the day.
yes but it depends on what it’s about, this is a very nice museum and I go to the Audobon meetings there.
Love Audobon.
Afternoon Lynn😘 for once we are getting nothing but think I just saw a snow flake
Front and back. Had no choice but take the back photo through the window but you can see a little.
.
..
I can see the icicles
😯
Is that a bird I see at the bird feeder?
I’m sure.
Birdie soon will skate to the feeders.😊
wow, pretty..
Hi Lynn it is pretty unless we loose power.
oh yes, I know..
someones been out there I see foot prints
Jo
I can see the twigs and all covered with ice and many little icicles.
Now wonder the twigs break off. So heavy.😟
We have a few more limbs fall but still have power. Hope hope.
This is really a problem there in usa with the power. I had been reading this here on spo many times in all those years, that people worry about power.
I dont really know this from here in my country. The only time we here have power problems is, when a lightning hits a transformer station. Very rarely happening.
Your country should put the cables under ground, too. But it is expensive, i know.
I hope that you keep power, i just said a little prayer for you and others affected.
Again -oh my- good night.
I agree with you Gabi. Over time maybe if the power lines were buried it would not be very expensive. Fewer repairs, fewer workers. Good night Gabi. I hope either roads improve for your husband or he can stay home. Hope you can rest well. Not worry.
PS there are a lot of problems in the US.
I know. Problems with another ice , expansion phantasies, … a lot more. I read it and also watch cnn.
But same here. A little show-off for bundeskanzler, all of our country’s money is given away to other countries, abuse of social welfare, economy going down, limited freedom of speech, limited news. I need to stop. 😡🤬😠.
My country is far away from what it used to be. People are unhappy.
I hear you Gabi. ,
The shrinking freedom of speech is one of the worst. Whatever you may say, you get pushed in the politically left or right corner. Or friend of putin, even if you are NOT. All that needs, is to wonder where all the gazillions for ukraine should come from. We have many areas where are no more germans. Only moslems and lebanese gangs. Dangerous. Knife stabbing every day in my country. Germany has a serious immigration problem. Everybody coming in gets a place to stay, social payments and health insurance . They never contributed anything for social or health systems and… Read more »
That is sad. The “new” US is at the opposite end of that. Our immigrants mostly used to just come in and work jobs Americans didn’t want, like farm jobs and clean motel rooms. They had social security taxes taken from paychecks but couldn’t draw without legal status.
Ours dont work. Only a few. The ukrainian guy in our house has a drum set now and makes noise with it.
I dont see him going to work. He told me that he wants to come out bigtime as a drummer in a band. 🙄🙈
Our state pays his flat, feeds him, …oh well. And his wife, too. And millions of others, ukraine, arabs, africans selling drugs.
Debbie why are so many of your immigrants illegal?
They should look out for being legal.
What happens with maduro ?
They cross the border without permission. But I think some of them who are considered illegal really aren’t. We have laws pertaining to coming in the country to seek asylum. When so many come at once the process can’t be done properly and they wind up illegal. But yes lots come over illegally because they just want a better life.
Like here. Oh well….
Thank you debbie. You rest well, too.😘😍
Branches are covered, it will warm up and fall off
Temps dropping now.
It won’t last long I hope😘
are these signs in Madison?
City outside of Madison
new nest, new location, new bird…she blends right in with the leaves
Oh thanks Deb. I assume still the same property.
yes, lol I think this one is in a Ficus tree but don’t quote me on that
I agree with the Ficus tree
Thanks Debrah reminds me of Olives nest in that tree
It even looks like a old nest of her’s
