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.

Good morning Bella Buds. 26 and cloudy. It was a little sunny earlier, I wish I had got the photo I’m going to post with the sun shining on the ice cycles but I didn’t. I’m watching tennis. Good day to all.

There’s what’s called a bomb cyclone out on the east coast, going to bring lots more snow to the whole east coast line

Great picture, Debbie! Almost looks like the icicles are hanging from the sky over those houses. The black and white has a special effect also. 😊

Well, I am exhausted. Been up since 7:30 am. Early for me, and going full speed with no nap. I am looking forward to sleeping good tonight! I hope everyone else sleeps good also. Have wonderful dreams and feel refreshed in the morning. 🌹🌻

Good night Karen, it does seem you had a very busy day! I’m glad you can go full speed all day. That tells me maybe your life is finally getting a little back to normal since your big surgery. I hope you get a long, sound sleep full of peace and good dreams. Love you and good night.

Well that’s a new one. I was just sitting here, looking at the screen, at a post that had been written a few minutes ago, and all of a sudden I got a message saying — crap, have to shut down. And SPO went away again.

Yes, it is inside a rectangle and it’s only a few short words. I just can’t remember what the other words were right now.

And it uses that word? That sounds like a hack not official.

Going to read awhile..

You sound tired, Lynn. I just want to ask you one thing — what did the dogs learn today? You can answer tomorrow if you want. I hope you sleep well and have sweet dreams. 💤🤗

Hi Karen..not too tired yet but after reading awhile I will be. I just worked on things they already know, don’t want them to forget so I do that once in awhile, not as often as I should though.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I work on going over things with Dutchess also. I don’t want her to forget something like, oh I need to go outside for that. Basically though just the usual commands. I think the more they hear them, the better they remember them. What are you reading tonight?

I finished a book called Illinois country roads…more interesting than I thought, told the history of a lot of towns and info about old and new businesses…older book so some are closed now..this is from a bunch of unread books that I have, I’ve been reading them this winter.

That does sound interesting, Lynn. Gives you a broader perspective of things in that area. I need to read more.

Hi Lynn I’m always responding to my bell and forget to check the top for new messages. I didn’t mean to snub you. What do you like at McD’s? Glad you got Aldi’s and FIL done. What are you reading?
