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 night sweet Karen and anyone else still peeking in. Good luck with the lab results. Pam hope you got all rested up today and Julie, your dad is making progress. Ardy hope the vet was able to help precious Nikki. No Lin or Gem, but we had Lynn! Deb thanks for letting us know about Big Bear. As you can see, I keep issues on my mind, even if I don’t mention them, because I love my Phamily. Prayers for our country. We all love her. Good night.

Oh yes, Debbie. God, please bless the USA. ❤️
Thank you for your good wishes. Lab work to check iron and stuff. A lot of the eagles are having problems this this year, except NEFL. The youngest of the two little babies has just started pulling whatever fish s/he wants closer and snacking on it. So adorable. Nest well-stocked. At least 9 fish yesterday! Beau is a good mate for our Gabby. Sleep good. Hope for good things tomorrow. 😘😍

I was reading a bit here and saw that you mentioned 2 family members. One from cuba… very sad, and i hope that things will turn out to the best.
Made me think of baby vienna’s dad, didnt you mention honduras or something ?
I hope he is not the second one. God bless your country, and my country, too.🥰😘.

Ok, 1 from cuba, married, in usa for a very long time. From cuba = legal.
I hope he can prove to be from cuba. On the marriage certificate ?
Vienna dad: he is not legal ? Legal by marriage ? Are both men detained?
I am so sorry for that. Wasnt the vienna dad from honduras ?
I hope that it will turn out good for them. Terrible for the families.

There was a law pertaining to Cuba from 1966 to I think 2017 that basically said if a Cuban reached American soil they were legal. He came during this period. Apparently sometime he divorced his first wife and she burned all his legal papers. He remarried my cousin’s daughter and they have lived together many years. He just got detained, and so,show know someone important who got legal papers and overnighted them. That is all I know except if he gets deported his wife plans to go with him even though she is American. I get a lot of different… Read more »

Now on top of this with her husband she is losing vision, probably soon it will be illegal for her to drive.

Burning his legal papers, omg. Cant he get some papers again like in a cuban embassy ? They should be able to prove his birth in cuba. Viennas mom is nancys grandchild, right ?Erin? Good that she deals so well with being deaf. Is she the one also with the vision problem ? Or is it the cuban guys wife ? Doesnt marriage have a legal effect in a way that someone is a legal immigrant then after marriage? Can he still get deported ? I wonder why illegal folks dont make efforts to become legal right away after crossing… Read more »

I don’t know much about the Cuban’s situation but they were having papers overnighted to them, so I’m sure they know what to do. Vienna is Nancy’s great grand. Apparently marrying an American does not give legal status and it seems je could be deported. I don’t know all about why so many come here illegally but I think it is very difficult for average or poor people to get legal status unless they are from certain countries. Some come here with no papers and want to seek asylum and it is not granted. Some come and because there are… Read more »

Oh well, uncontrolled immigration is a BIG problem here, too. Different here: people are illegal, go from one EU state to another, get benefits and payments in different states , dont get arrested and when they become criminal ,they still stay here. And bring all their family members, too. I dont like that either. Criminals at least should be deported. They showed a typical immigrant family from eastern europe on tv. The dad worked a few hours per week, they had no passports but 10 kids. Our state gives them 6000 euros per month(yes, 6000) for family allowance. They dont… Read more »

I’m sorry for the turmoil in your country. I particularly hate censorship. That is how the government can control citizens, when the flow of information becomes one sided. I’m surprised this censorship is happening in a democracy. I think most of our immigrants want to work. But they have to use dead people’s social security numbers to work. They can’t get government benefits this way, the government would know it is stolen. But they can get work this way.

Its not only censorship with newspapers, its also limited freedom of speech. When saying something , it can happen that you get looked at like an enemy of the mainstream, depends on what you say. Have to be careful. Real democracy here ? I am laughing. Power to the people ? Just the opposite happening here. Government broke promises, cares more for foreign countries than for the own country. Fools. When northstream pipeline was blown up, they said that full force of law would hit the ones who did it. Now they have one guy arrested, he even admitted it.… Read more »

We do have free elections, but we have a bundeskanzler now, who broke and breaks his promises. Most germans are upset and not content with him. To me he is no good and i dont trust him. He cares for other countries and isnt doing anything about OUR people’s problems and needs. I didnt vote for him. Yes, we had it on the news with the lady and the guy who got shot. It was shown as if the lady drove towards an ice official like she tried to hit him. Then he shot. They also said on our tv… Read more »

I’m sorry about the state of your government. So the legislative branch elected him, not the people. I saw the videos of the two shootings multiple times. She was complying, driving away as she was told. The agent got in front of the vehicle, against the agency rules. She bumped him, I don’t really think she saw him. He got out of the way then pulled his gun and shot her several times. She was unarmed, I think he was just mad as she was just going on. Then a doctor there told them To let him help her. They… Read more »

No debbie, the people voted for our bundeskanzler. I had voted for another party.
He had promised good things, then after he had won the election he didnt stick with his promises. He likes to see himself involved in ukrainian -russian war. He is in the way, when other people try to find peace.He is a war-monger and thinks he is soooo important in global politics. He isnt important, he is a joke figure.

I am sorry for what happened to those people being shot .
This is an example again ,that our news are reporting biased about certain things.

I had eyes to see the videos myself. We may have seen a lot more than your journalists. Slow motion, videos taken by many of the people there from different angles, freezing the video. Is a “Bundeskanzler” different from a president or prime minister?

Another pipeline -blow -up- guy is another ukrainian. He is a free man in poland. Poland government said that he did good. He destroyed german things though. German officials wanted him in germany but poland doesnt extradite him. Nice !! Not. And poland is an EU country like we are. Its a shame.

I got involved in the story of Lawrence Anthony tonight. He rescued a rogue herd of elephants (a family of 9 who had suffered human abuse), by getting close to the matriarch and convincing them to live on land he had bought for them – the Thula Thula Reserve. They grew from 9 members to 30. Such a heartwarming, fascinating true story. Now I’m going to take time to eat. Glad I don’t have many responsibilities, like a brood of kids to take care of. 😂

Where are these elephants and how were they abused by people? Doesn’t sound like they were in captivity.

They are in South Africa. They had been abused by humans. Humans had also killed their matriarch and some of their babies, making them angry and destructive. Humans attempted to lock them up, but they kept breaking out, as they were so frustrated. It was finally decided that they would be killed on sight. Lawrence Anthony thought he could help and bought some land for a reserve and actually saved the lives of their herd. He was able to bond with the matriarch. It’s a fascinating, in-depth story. They are at the Tuhla Tuhla Reserve in South Africa now.

He started on the program in 1998. I think it took him a few years to establish their trust and get it all going. Yes, I thought it was a beautiful story. It brought tears to my eyes.
