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.
I didn’t have anything to say today upon getting here, so I’m just going to touch base with comments already posted. Standard fare for me, I know, I just live a boring life. 😂 I’m not complaining, I don’t need any more activity. 🌻
Hi Karen ♥
Hi Pam ❤️. How are you doing today?
Pretty decent; been reading Jacinda Ardern’s book, A Different Kind of Power. She’s the former Prime Minister of New Zealand.
I bet that is a good book. It would have been nice to be involved during the Tony Blair era. I really admire him. Enjoy yourself. I’m going to go relax and stretch out on the couch for a little bit. 😉
Enjoy your relax 😌
Ty. 😉
Karen my life isnt that exciting!
A must hear, Bruce Springsteen’s song for Minneapolis😪 its on youtube
😫😭
😩😥😰 Can’t think of a better thing to see coming online today. Tributes and support comments coming in from all over the world. The real Boss.
😢😢
oh i was looking for it
I’m going to shut down I can’t get the page to work it just keeps freezing and can’t post
Understand. I’m having some trouble.
I need to take a shower BBL
Just being really bad today😫
Posting? I have some trouble too. Sounds like your is way worse.
Thank you for your post, Julie. I really needed it. ❤️🎵
Jo had a dentist appointment they called to cancel. The dentist can’t get off her property and the office parking lot is solid ice. So canceled.
Oh no!!!! good thing they let Jo know, no need to go out and see how things are-her office just let you know its not safe
Not only not safe, but no dentist! We are right in town, the road look clear right now but you never know if there is black ice. But out in the county I’m sure all secondary roads are bad. All area schools are cancelled the rest of the week. Courthouse closed.
WOW!!!
Hi Ardy. Jo went to the post Office guess I’ll find out how it is in the immediate area. I’m sure the PO is only about half a mile if that.
How is it out there?
Roads in town are good but lots of big branches at least one big tree down. She just went a short distance.
What a mess! How is your town holding up, Debbie? With all of the closures, etc.? 😥🙏 Any major problems listed on the news?
Hi Karen. Town doesn’t have two much bad going on. Jo saw a large tree that had crushed an out building. I guess most people stocked up and are just staying home. It is worse out in the county where some don’t have power, but that should be over soon. On the lake a good sized part of one of the marinas collapsed due to the snow and ice. The restaurant and some of the boat/houseboat slips were heavily damaged.
Hi Debbie. 🤗 I really worry with this kind of weather about trees falling and dying, and hurting people and damaging homes, landmarks, etc. I suppose most of the people living out in outlying areas are halfway prepared for something like this; i.e. backup power sources,but I know some are not. I’m really so thankful that you guys are okay. 🙏 The winter of ’26 is becoming quite a big deal.
Thanks Karen. We did fine but I had high anxiety for a few days.
A lot of that going around today. I think this is the biggest storm we’ve ever had throughout the country. I hope Jo isn’t going to have any unpleasant results of not being able to see the dentist. ❤️
Hope not. Jo had a root canal and bridge work done recently. She had a temporarily bridge put in and it popped out. She called and the dentist was on the way out. Jo had to hurry there and the dentist put it back in. Today she was supposed to get the permanent bridge put in and they called to say the dentist could not get off her property.
Sounds like something that could be uncomfortable. I hope she can get back in soon. That root canal sure doesn’t sound like very much fun. I just cringe when I hear those words. Poor Jo.
Thanks Karen.
Nothing worse than a root canal.
A broken wrist. 😁
Good late morning…I was lazy this morning, sitting on the couch drinking coffee, reading, looking at my IPAD, etc…DH won’t be home for lunch so I’ll have to bundle up…it’s 14 now, feels like is 4…a heat wave, lol..next week we’ll have more normal temps in the double digits. last night for dinner we had scrambled eggs with bacon pieces in it…think I might have soup for lunch…not that hungry yet so a late lunch. I’m not sure what I’ll do today, will have to look at my list. My sister said she just took the ornaments off her tree..they… Read more »
Hi Lynn😍 I like the idea of a Valetines tree, coffee clinks I’m thinking about what to have for a breakfast lunch?
Hi Lynn you are in a deep freeze. We are 22 but sustained temps this cold are not our usual for sure. But this too shall pass. I would hate to have to take dogs out in the cold but I guess you are used to it. Still no fun! Soup sounds good for lunch. I like the idea of a year around tree trmmed for the season or holiday. But that would be a lot of work, but lots of crafty people would like it.
we are +9 and feels like -4 not to bad
😏😫
Hi Lynn. 🤗 Scrambled eggs and bacon sounds really good. I might have to make that for supper. I like the idea of the hearts and lights tree. Valentine’s day, or special sentiment times.
Good morning Bella Buds and a good day to you. 22 degrees, mostly cloudy. We have over a week more for sure of low 20’s daytime highs. I’m not sure I’ve seen this long of straight temps this low for us. We still have power outages in the county and Somerset has hundreds. I’m so blessed not to have had a power outage, and happy that Nancy now has power. Greater Nashville area was one of the hardest hit areas I think in the country. Y’all have the best day possible.
Good Morning Debbie😘 I’m happy for Nancy too, I haven’t seen pictures from Nashville I think the worst I have seen has been in Oxford Mississippi, home of Ole Miss. they have no power and no gasoline, running out of food, roads can’t be traveled to many trees down,looks like they were hit by a tornado, cars and homes crushed by falling trees not just branches its so bad
I agree but I did say one of the worst, not the worst. Nashville has been shown on all the national news. Nashville may be better equipped to deal with this, they are quite a bit north of Mississippi and this system went more south than usual.
I haven’t seen videos of Nashville on YouTube that’s all, storm chasers are in Oxford helping clear streets and driveways so people can get out of their homes
Few pictures from Oxford Ms
I got to see a video from Nashville, they got a lot of snow WOW!!
They got a lot of ice too.
I meant to say Ice but i’m having a very hard time posting
I lost a post today halfway through typing it. Last night was worse.
Like Nashville. C
Good Morning Bellas we have no temp we are 0 right now😂 I just think that’s funny, its sunny pretty clear blue sky. I’m hearing lots of crows probably chasing a hawk? have a great hump day😍
Good morning Sunshine and Happy Day. You are plenty cold! We have speed bumps.
When I saw a sigh for speed hump I just started laughing😂
we say speed bumps here..hi Julie
😃 humps just sound funny to me😂
That is pretty funny, Julie, zero temperature. 😂 It IS on the dial. 😉 I would think they would just leave it blank. Maybe.
We call those sometimes nasty things speed bumps here.
