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 Bellas it snowed a little last night will have to clear the side walk, Happy start of the Olympic’sI’m going to watch the actual start at 11:00 am my time and watch it again tonight so I can see it twice. Women’s hockey team won😍 and today is National frozen yogurt day, guess I will put my yogurt outside and let it freeze, that would be easy enough to do😂 I see cat paw prints in the snow, will track them and try and figure out where the cat is coming from or going to, that might solve… Read more »

Good morning Ardyth😍 they were doing some Olympic events yesterday-hockey and curling happened. I hope I can track the cat and see where its coming from got a good look at it last night,he has the sweetest face😃 and following the tracks I will know what house to go to, on the other side of the block behind me and talk to them or leave a note about letting the cat roam. I feed birds and put seed on the ground for the ground feeders and the cat tries to get them-and probably has gotten a few as there has… Read more »

Good morning Sunshine. So you are going to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics? 7 hours difference in our times. I haven’t looked at what tv channels the Olympics will be aired, I think USA is one. Bet you are watching on YouTube.
Oh how good you got footprints to track. I hope you find something useful. Any evidence the cat used the bed? One way to tell is put a paper towel in there and see if it is messed up.

Probably a nice show. Have fun.😃😘.
We are not really watching sports, so i am not watching the olympics. I dont remember that i ever watched it. I see sports shows for 2 seconds, when i zap thru channels, lol. It just doesnt attract me or dh. I guess i did see ice figure skating sometimes when i was young – probably still with my parents. That was a very long time ago and i dont remember if that really was olympics or just some other competition.

I’m so happy 💖 Larry Fitzgerald was selected to the NFL Hall of Fame; his stats got him there, and he’s such a great guy. When he was playing for the Phoenix Cardinals, he lost his mother to cancer. After which he started a charity/foundation for cancer survivors and hosted luncheons for them; Lian met him several times.

I ate a Smart Ones angel hair pasta and some cabbage. The pasta was just 200 calories so I thought it was ok. But seemed like a lot of pasta for me so now I feel guilty! I haven’t eaten a heavy carb really since last March. Well, I did eat one smallish piece of pizza on family Christmas Day.

You may be right. I thought for 200 calories it would be more veggie heavy, less pasta.

I think you have to eat some carbs sometimes to kind of make the proteins work better. Was it delicious?

🥰 Dear Ladies: Just got back from 2 dr appts, one each, x-rays and blood tests for him. Lunch, Taco Bell, then to Walmart, where a big deal was made about rx’s being too expensive, then arguments with insurance company. Off to Safeway for sale items, then King Soopers. Grabbed some chili from Wendy’s on the way home. Watched him gulp his food down so he could go play internet games. So hey! 💕 Hope everyone is hanging in there. Most are probably already relaxing for the night. Sounds good. I plan to listen to some music just a little… Read more »

Well Karen I had a big ol’ post ready to post and it is gone. So I’ll have to start over. Wow, what a day you had! How did you pack so much in one day? Now who made the big deal over expensive Rx’s and argued with an insurance company? Did you find out anything from the doctor about you? I keep hoping you will find answers. If I’d been through all this I’d want quiet! Maybe some soothing instrumental, lay comatose and listen to it. I hope you can relax.

Oh Debbie, I was strung so tight I thought I was going to break. I have to drown it all out. I’m sorry you are still having posting problems. Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully I can bring some brightness to my posts tomorrow. My ears will certainly be ready to just go back and forth in posts. 😂🥰 More on doctor tomorrow. ❤️
