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 in for a lot of rain but it is warm, already 72. My brain is empty this morning, which can be a good thing! Guess I will do some more getting rid of stuff. I need to wash and fill Casey’s treat box. I don’t think he needs anything cooked. Maybe wash clothes. Ho hum, I’m so exciting. Y’all have a good day.

I am going to go get ready for my doctor’s appointment today. This is my primary doctor, and we will talk about all of my problems. 🫣 I may be back soon, but I’m not sure. If not, good morning Debbie!! I hope you slept well and feel great this morning! 🌹

Good morning Karen. I’m so glad you see primary today. Maybe he/she can help you pull all your issues together, help you understand how they interact to make you feel like you do, learn if any of your medicines are making you feel bad. When do you see the RA doctor? I did sleep well and feel good. Have a good day and don’t wear yourself out. There is another day tomorrow. Does your husband go with you?

Good morning…think it’s going to be in the 40s today…Debbie, yes I got home later because I had to feed the geckos at night..guess for me I don’t see the thrill of having them, lol…you never see them during the day (you might see them hiding under something) and once a week they come out when you feed them and that was not fun for me..actually DH did most of it…I couldn’t get the worms on the big spoon to put in the little container they eat out of…so he just picked them up!!! EWWWW…not for me. and it took… Read more »

no, he smells them on me every day and I’m around mine more so wouldn’t be that, he likes me. Just something about him or the way he looks, we think..cats usually like DH

My goodness, Lynn. I don’t know too much about geckos. It seems like they would be really easy to babysit though. 🤣 Except for the worm part. I wonder if they make them prepackaged? Cut open the top of the container and just pour them in. Taco Bell sounds good to me also. 🤗

Good morning Lynn. I’m not right very often, but I guess I was right about feeding the geckos. Yuk. I’m glad your husband came to help. Are the worms live or freeze dried. I’m with you, don’t understand why anyone would want them. Maybe they come out more often for their parents. At least it is over, will you need to feed them again before the job is over? So they don’t like white people, are the owners black?

Most Geckos are nocturnal, with a few species that are out during the day.If nocturnal they sleep during the day

live worms…they are nocturnal so they probably don’t see them much, either. I’m done feeding them. The DH is black. I don’t know why the cat acted like that, pretty strange, cats love DH

You never know. Casey was terrified of men when we first got him, especially of a man was wearing a ball cap. He would do this yelp and try to fly away. We were told Casey was bred by a breeder in Florida. We were vacationing down there and actually visited the breeder. She had a lot of aviaries, best I remember mostly outdoors. She took is to see his parents, and he looked just like his dad. But all the males probably looked similar, with larger females. But at the time I didn’t know that. So we believed those… Read more »

Oh interesting pop corn you can get, for me the Carmel and cheese is in the same bag so the cheese gets on the Carmel corn . Its the sweet salty combo that’s so good😋

I don’t drink it that often actually rarely, I’m big on drinking water

Karen Marie

Reply to  julie

I drink that too, I keep a bottle or two of water in the fridge or freezer, and I drink it all day. I find myself sometimes racing to the refrigerator and then downing half a bottle. I think I drink one or two liters of water a day. I know that might sound like too much, but I don’t seem to have any problems from it. My lymphedema is caused from something else, they just can’t figure it out.

I keep a plastic bottle of Coke in refrigerator or freezer at all times. Just so I can open it up and drink a sip or two, really cold, every now and then.

Good morning, Butterfly. 🦋😘 I bet the ozone smell is so good there. I miss that smell. I miss the rain! And I bet you do feel good after all that sawing. Makes the body feel like it’s doing something fun, even if it isn’t. 🤣

Good morning Sunshine. Are the trees too big for loopers? I think that is what they are called. They cut about an inch in diameter I think. Glad your nack doesn’t have you in bed.

Hi Lynn. 🤗 Yes, the carbs are definitely the best. Unless I have a good t-bone. Or a good pork chop or some good ham. I could eat meat and salad all day long.

Karen Marie
March 5, 2026 9:24 am

Good morning, Ardyth. 😊 The question is, do you EAT all day long? 😅 Or should I say do you eat the high calorie things all day long? You stay pretty skinny, so you must eat the right things. Or do you really hold back a lot 🙁? I think our bodies prefer it when we eat more often. I can’t get it right, either. 🤔

I think it’s best to eat less often, so your blood sugar doesn’t keep getting raised high over and over..learned that from the videos and research that DH did
