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’m tired…woke up too early…we took the dogs out of town to walk and visit some vendor booths (wine walk was going on)..got people treats and dog treats…then to his dad’s…gave a treat to him but the caregiver didn’t want any..so I’ll share with my mom. DS walked the last 5-6 miles so that’s not good, don’t know why. well, Scout is very glad to be home..actually me too, going to rest a bit before Olympics and DH is going to cook a pizza.
How long was this run Lynn? so Scout likes home more than Bane? Does your husband still not eat the pizza crust? Vendor booths are fun. Glad you got out.
this was a marathon, so 26.2 miles. Scout wants to stay home all the time. Not sure who loves it more, I mean Bane loves his home but enjoys going places also. He doesn’t eat the crust still. yes, it was good to get out, just the way there with the dogs was stressful but wearing earplugs helped some.
So your son ran about 15 miles then walked. Are Bane and Scout about the same age? I guess the dogs like to bark at all they see. They get excited. Seems the earplugs do the trick.
Debbie..you are the math expert 😀 but he ran about 20 miles. Bane and Scout are both 4. The noise part is her LOUD whining…Bane is back and forth, in the middle..i have to use the squirt bottle on both of them every couple minutes..you’d have to be there, it’s awful
🤣. Well I’m no expert but I guess I should have been able to do 3rd grade math, or is it 2nd? You are the primary expert. Let’s see 26-6=20. No borrowing required. Maybe 1st grade! 😁😂. That is so funny. Maybe Scout is whining because she wants to go home and Bane is all over because he is so excited to be going.
😀 yes, to me you are the expert 😀 I’m the “spelling bee queen”, lol..or at least I was in el. school..and got A’s in English. yes, Scout gets anxious and just wants to be home..Bane was always excited about going somewhere and back and forth but worse now, her high pitched loud whining bothers him ..
Oh, poor Scout. Maybe it goes back to her life before she lucked out and she got you.
We got some much needed rain overnight; about 12 hours worth of softly-falling wet stuff. And now it’s sunny and 60 degrees; such strange weather for Feb. 🙄
Hope everyone’s having a nice Valentine’s day 💘 Chocolates go a long way to ensure enjoyment on any day 😘
🤣. Glad you got rain but that is not the reason for the laugh!
I know 😂 and Thanks 😘
I need more than 25 pieces LOL glad you got the much needed rain Pam😘
Yep! 25 pieces is just a drop in the bucket 😘
Congratulations to Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for scoring South America’s very 1st medal, ever, in the winter games. A Gold Medal 🏅
Feel like taking a shower back in a few
Good afternoon…we went out to the bakery and ate there…DH had a ham/spinach thing, can’t remember what it was and I had a raspberry Danish…afterwards we went to an antique store. As soon as DH is ready, we’re taking the dogs somewhere which is kind of stressful but have to get them out once in awhile…Debbie, I replied below about rehab…maybe different now or depends on what is needed. oh…and DH said looks like DS didn’t finish the race…
Yum on the Danish! Enjoy the outside time with hubby and the dogs. I answered below about my experience in rehab. After 3 weeks in ICU on a ventilator. Oh I hope DS did finish!
looks like he didn’t ..and about my dad, yes it was inpatient rehab..Halloween day through the first week in Feb…I took cupcakes to his dining room a day or two before he was going home
Hi Lynn, sorry DS didn’t finish; i kept looking for him/his stats. 😔
He ran 26 miles
Glad you were able to find DSs stats, all i had was his name/bib#
So these are for DS 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
😘
not the whole way, started walking..
Did he get hurt ?
I’m getting rid of a lot of very old paper work of my parents. I’m taking photos of some keepsakes.
It’s ok to keep somethings😘 you can pass them down to nieces and nephews, if its family history
They don’t want family history from my parents. Trust me. Nancy would agree.
Just checking in.
What did Casey get to eat? and what did you eat?
Casey had broccoli pasta, chick peas, and mixed veggies. I’ve had a BelVita cookie and coffee. Soon I think I’ll have ham and pineapple.
Wow, 1 cookie ! You really are looking after your weight.
Ham and pineapple sounds good !
Caseys meal sounds good, too.🙂.
It has been 11 months! These cookies are healthy cookies, 60 calories each.
Yep, i know the bel vitas. They are in our stores, too.
You do very well, habibi.
They are good with my coffee. I drink black coffee and nibble the cookie. The little bit of sweetness is good.
Good.
A single standard Oreo cookie contains approximately 53 calories
Mostly sugar.
I am sure …
I think its easier for Debbie because she is on the weight loss shots and they curb your appetite. My GF is on them and they stop you from anting to eat.
Yep, but still needs discipline, to eat the right stuff.
I often think there are so many hungry and underfed people in the world, and i have a hard time to get rid of fat. Oh boy.
Ardy, what is a GF ? Good friend ?
😁. It was hard to fix a frozen pizza for Jo recently and not have any. I LOVE pizza. I could have probably had a very small portion but I think that would have just made it harder.
Yeah, probably.
You need a good strategy for after the diet. Like well-chosen food and no-no’s.
girl friend….she eats whatever she wants and has lost 50 lbs so far
Sounds like a dream…eats what she wants and lost 50 pounds…
Here its like eat what i want and keep gaining.🤭.
But i do get rid of a little weight lately. But slowly.🙄.
She is on the weight loss injections and isnt on a restricted “diet”
That stuff seems to help.
I wish I could eat whatever I wanted!
I have the same problem……I literally cant stop eating…lol
I just had an apple. Late night snack, lol.
It did for me for several months but not as much now. But I am only on 1 mg where by now I should be on 2.4 mg. So I’m taking less than half of most people. I also know from dieting all my life that after you have dieted a couple months your stomach shrinks and it is easier to eat less. At this point I’m not sure what part of eating less is medicine or what part is being on a diet for 11 months.
Be glad that you are only on 1 mg. So you probably do so well because of shrunken stomach.
When you stop the diet, you make sure that you dont dilate the tummy much more again . Oh what a pita !
I dilated my stomach 66 years ago! Yes, I’ve dieted all my life but never have I been down to the weight where I wanted to stay. So if I get there, I will be in a new territory. I don’t know how to stay at one weight, to actually want to stay there. I don’t know how other people do it? Go years at the same way. They don’t seem to watch everything they eat, to think about what to eat and what not to eat but the weight is steady. So maintenance will be unknown for me. I… Read more »
After diet you will probably gain a little. When you eat more again, the body gains all he can get . That is normal. Body does that to make sure he has some fat for the next times of “hunger”. You have to find a balance. Eat a little more, and when you gain dont tolerate it, then eat less again for a few days until you are back where you were. Try a few exercises. More muscles burn more calories. You love veggies, which is good. Oh boy, i dont know more and better myself. You could ask your… Read more »
I guess I will learn. It seems like walking a tight rope. It will take constant thought I guess.
Yes, i think so, too. But you will do good. YOU are the boss, not the food. Thats what i tell myself, when i have cravings or feel like eating when i shouldnt or when i am not even hungry. Oh boy ! 🙂.
I don’t feel so much like the boss, but maybe I am. I give it a lot of thought what I will allow myself. I am more lenient with myself when I need to eat away from home, when we go out of town. I tell myself, this one won’t be so bad, as long as I don’t eat THAT one.
Oh yes, you are the boss over what you eat.
You will grow into it and find out what is good for you.😘
Yummy for Casey, and yummy ham and pineapple for you😋 had eggs sausage potatoes toast and half a orange that’s it till dinner-I eat 2 meals a day, I’m not hungry when I get up
Sounds very good to me. Do you buy frozen potatoes for breakfast?
