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.

Ardy, I might have missed it, but did you have a good time eating out with your friends this week?

Yes we had a good time with our friends as always. I ordered the Reuben like I always do but it just wasn’t up to standards this time it was still edible but just not as good

Oh so hall didn’t go to a Mexican place. The main thing is you had a good time, but it is disappointing to not be up to the usual quality of food.

It sucks to get a disappointing Ruben, I have had that happen before, like I need to have real Swiss cheese not the processed stuff, processed has no flavor, I need the strong Swiss cheese flavor for it to taste right😋 and lots of kraut

House fire caused by solar light with Lithium battery, need to check for the UL symbol that the light has been tested- don’t use lithium batteries on lights mounted to your house or deck-this is really scary

It’s very scary that it can happen, and people do mount them on their houses and decks, The guy who owned this house saw the fire on his deck used a water hose to put it out, when he put water on it and thought it was out, it shot a 20 foot flame out and started the roof on fire, this is maybe why it reacted with water? type of lithium battery?

If they were solar they would have to be rechargeable.

Not necessaraly, not all solar lights are rechargable, mine you need to change batteries to new ones-you don’t need recharge able just using regular batteries work just as well 2 regular batteries work for a summer season

You are right.Solar lights are made for rechargeable batteries only. This is logically consistent. Regular alkaline batteries can mess the solar light up. I was reading it up just to be sure, and every article said NO.🙀
Regular batteries dont make sense anyway. Why buy batteries, when the sun is doing the job !?

We should all be able to use solar for everything possible. I think we need more training and education on the subject. Maybe one day. Thanks for the info, www. 🤗

I agree, karen. We have a lot of solar here. We have solar parks, like hundreds of solar panels on a big field. People have solar panels on their roofs, outside walls, etc. .

I always heard Germany was up on stuff like that. So smart. My mom was stationed there with her husband back in the ’70s. They had a lot of advances that we don’t have over here. For some reason. 😓 I’m glad you are able to take advantage of it. I’m sure it saves folks lots of money.

They were at Wildflecken, 1974 to 1977. It was near the broken dish factory, where my mom used to go all the time looking for a good deal. 🤗 She had met up with a bunch of German ladies and had a great time with them the entire time she was there. I bet if we really get a handle on solar power, we can save lots of money.

She loved it! She brought back home a lot of items, like marble coffee tables and end tables, a huge shrunk, hummels, and more that I just can’t think of right now. And they used to love their beer, drank warm. They would go out some weekend and drink sometimes all day long in the bars. And the cakes from the bakery! They were amazing!

Dont use regular batteries on solar lights. Can mess it up. Overheating, leakage, ….
You can read this up everywhere : All solar lights need rechargeable batteries.
Regular alkaline batteries dont make sense anyway. A solar panel wants to recharge them and messes them up. Plus, why not have the sun giving you the energy for free , isnt this the sense of it ?

Good morning! How often do you hear that from me?!! 🥰 I got up about half an hour ago. I was excited about hearing Debbie’s news. I am actually going to lie back down for about an hour or so, while I wait on my meds to work on my feet. But I wanted to ask, Debbie, if you were to decide to have the surgery, and it went very smoothly, what would the main gain be?
