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 afternoon. well I have been a busy person this morning I haven’t thrown out any old stuff like julie said it was throw out old stuff day or something like that. I had my early dental cleaning with X rays and she checked my gums and cleaned my teeth and everything was OK. Then I washed blankets and couch covers, washed the dining room window inside and out plus hosed off the screens, then I took all of these things in the pictures outside and hosed them off and washed all the trinkets, I also put new juice in… Read more »

Oh Ardy, you make me exhausted just thinking of all that! In just 2-3 words you said things that would take me 2-3 days to get done. Like wash blankets and couch covers. Those are bulky and hard to manage. Then dining room window inside and out and hosing off screens. Not an easy job. Then….well I’m too tired to type! Good grief woman. Are you sure you are just one woman? Maybe you have been hiding you are really triplets!

not bad until I have to feed them one night..they have a new tank and it’s different than the one she showed me, bigger, opens differently, etc…even have to watch and make sure they both get enough, ugghh

Reply to  Lynn

So you don’t feed geckos every day? Do they eat some kind of live food? Maybe crickets?
I googled and got this:
Geckos are primarily insectivores that eat a wide variety of insects and invertebrates, including crickets, mealworms, roaches, moths, spiders, and grasshoppers. Larger species may eat small mice or other geckos, while species like cresties also eat fruit. They require live, appropriately sized prey (smaller than their head). Reddit

Gabi I saw it. The dancing robots looked so real. Their movements were very smooth, fluid, like a gifted human dancer. It is amazing. Then they could pick up small objects, fine motor skills. Yes scary! AI is scary. I don’t like how reality and fake is hard to distinguish. Facebook has a lot of stories and videos now that are AI. They seem so real.

Morning “old stuff” lol
I am out the door for a teeth cleaning.
Nikki hurt her back foot, Probably jumping off the couch and now she’s having a really hard time walking on our tile floors And to top it off she peed on the carpet next to the bed last night probably due to bad foot/leg

julie
March 2, 2026 8:19 am

Good morning Ardyth, do you have one of those doggy foot stools? that they can climb up and climb down,Judy has one next to her bed for her dog he has short legs. Sorry for Nikki’s injury. Yes I think toshe was just in pain and peed where she could. Might have to put rugs down for her so she can walk safely, it could of happened just walking to if she’s slipping and repeated slipping could hurt her leg, that happens to us too, old stuffLOL

My first dog was a chihuahua size dog. He jumped off the bed, a normal sized height when he was young and hurt his leg. He yelped but I think my Mom must have thought he was ok. He got better but held that leg funny his whole life.

Good morning Ardy but not a very good morning for Niki. Poor little thing. I’m sorry for her and hope her foot feels better quickly. She could probably use some pain medicine but the vet would want her to come for an office visit. Then instead of a $ for just 2-3 pills it becomes $$$. Get those pearly whites all spiffed up.
