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! First, Ardyth, I totally empathize with your situation with the keys. Just one little mistake, and the whole house is in chaos. And then the little kitty looking up from inside the bucket saying, w-h-a-a-t? or who, me? 🥰 Dutchess is hanging in there, but we spent a few hours last night trying to figure out what to do, where to go, calling the several ER clinics, then deciding finally that we were both exhausted and she was wanting to sleep so we decided to go this morning to the vet.

Good morning Karen Marie go snuggle with Dutchess she needs it as much as you and in a few hours you will have some answers for her, take a deep breath and lay down for a while, hope you didn’t get much snow and the roads are drivable😘 safe travels and hang in there , eat something before you go and bring something to drink.

Good morning Karen. Is Dutchess worse, or did you just decide to take her on to ER? I know you are exhausted both physically and mentally. Things like this are so hard on the weekends. Too bad your normal vet doesn’t have any Saturday hours. I sure hope the problem is diagnosed and can be easily fixed and your baby gets back to normal. To be Continue
