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 we are 58 already. I got left over dishes done as well as usual morning things.
I talked to friend Nancy last night. She had breast cancer surgery awhile back and the surgeon told her he got it all including margins and she wouldn’t have to have radiation or chemo. She went to the oncologist and was told she had to do radiation. She has had 17 treatments and 4 more to go. Health care sure can be hard to navigate.
‘Y’all have a good day.

Good Morning Debbie😍 dishes done off to vote soon, the radiation is to make sure they got everything and the edges are clear, they are giving her the best chance and kill all the cancer cells, how is Nancy doing, with all this?

Her breast is swollen but otherwise ok. The surgeon told her one thing, the oncologist another. So who knows? It can work both ways. Yesterday at Aldi’s I asked a man if I could give him a quarter and take his basket to help me walk to the store. I didn’t know him, but he knew me. He was a grandson of a school colleague. This colleague had lymphoma several years ago and was treated and in remission. Then 5 years ago the cancer came back , then he died. Since I was retired I didn’t get the story, just… Read more »

But todays radiation is much more targeted. Not such bad side effects.
Chemotherapy can kill people. I have seen this. Rarely though.
Its bad, when cancer is beaten and then the chemo kills a person.

Hi julie I just saw on the news that one of our big news channels here admitted that they had used AI generated videos who showed fake ICE actions regarding the bad way how they treated illegal immigrants. Looks like a real video. Difficult now to believe the things i hear and see in media. It all could be fake. I wonder if those AI videos came from your country or from our country. Do your news channels have stuff like that, too ? You probably dont know until some admit it , IF they ever admit it. I am… Read more »

Gabi I watch independent news channels, They show what’s going on in reality, they don’t need fake videos they are there in person recording it live, what has happened to people is discusting, Ice really does hurt people, I have seen them crack peoples heads onto the road. Reality doesn’t need to be faked when it is really happening AI is not needed. Its already horrible can’t make it worse.

I still dont believe everything the programs show. Any channel.
What you say is surely true, well known worldwide by now. I still wouldnt rely on anything 100% unless i see it myself. Talking in general.
Even independent channels are not everywhere in person and take over foreign footage. You really never know, thats how i feel. Plus there will be more and more AI anyway. To me this is bad.

It really scares me. I think I really became aware about 2016 when Hilary Clinton was running for President. There were videos of her on Facebook saying things not good. It was very realistic looking. It came out later it was Russians trying to interfere in our election and the video was fake. This was before true AI but still good enough to look real. That scared me.

It gets more and more globally. All the big IT people have it and use it. But there is only little control over it . That is the really bad part. Some say, it could control us people one day. I dont know if this can come true. Maybe ? Horrible possibility ?

They are small, often run by just 1 or 2 people. They bring their own ideas, even conspiracy- crap sometimes. Not all of them, but its well known here, too. They need viewers. I rather hear the facts of the “big ones”. Then again: the AI mess. Maybe i shouldnt watch news any more at all. Makes me sick anyway. Good grief !🤪

We are going to need more and better laws to deal with AI. If this incident had cost the tv station lots of money in fines, then the people would be fired and new people would not want to do this again. Laws need to be plain and enforced.

I meant more a channel which talks equally and fair about both sides, without talking rather negative about one side . No need to represent the personal opinion of the news men, just the way the news are presented. Fair to either side. Hard to find here.
You are right with the most balanced channel.

I am more afraid of AI than just about EVERYTHING. It is good for getting better info about just about everything, but so scary with videos where you can’t decipher reality from fake.
