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.

Hey there, Butterfly!! 🦋 😘 Just got wiped out, took me a minute to get logged back in. A couple of graphics came in at the same time, that might have been it. Have to keep our eye on that type of thing. It might be some of the problem we have. Need a bigger buffer or something? Dutchess is doing much better, thank you. 🌸 I am getting good with the schedule of getting medicines together and feeding her three times a day, chicken and rice. She is trying to stay settled down also, as I won’t let her… Read more »

Could the medicine be making her hyper? she’s used to playing and playing with you-she does it to please you😘 I also think its a sign that she feels better or glad you brought her home from the vet, you will only be mean Mom for awhile and it’s for her own good. You just mean Mom her all you want she will forgive you plus your giving her yummy chicken and rice so she’s doing good and eating good. And love you take care of you, you have been worried about her and need to make sure Mom eats… Read more »

Yep, look at happy face!! ☺️ I think Rottweilers are sweet. I bet the one on the left does all the worrying about every little thing, while the one on the right just has a good time. 🤗There’s only one breed that scares me, but I can’t remember the name of it right now. Of course, training makes a difference too.

Thats Franklin he’s the oldest and got jealous when I was loving on Lincoln he bit Lincoln in the butt to make him move and Lincoln let out a yelp. Franklin is training little brother on the do’s and don’ts and when people are around its for him only😂

Me to Ardyth, the scare alot of people because they have a bad rep for bitting and attacking, I would pick a Rottweiler over a poodle any day. Gentle Giants. I get to pet and see them about everyday when I go for a walk and I look forward to seeing them😍

I don’t remember if I ever had one myself. I know I played with one with a neighbor girl. I pretended to be interested but I was bored. The only doll I ever wanted was a Chatty Cathy, and that was because you pulled a string and she talked. I really thought that was something.

That was me, Debbie. I never really got into the concept of make believe. I just knew it wasn’t real, so why bother, I still had to go back to reality. I faked it pretty well though. I never had any dolls. Except for one when I was 3 years old that said Mama when I turned it over. Her manufacturer name was Toodles. I named one of my dogs after her.

Yeah, i loved to climb on trees, too. Made a little treehouse with my girl friend, bike riding, rollerskates, badminton, walking in the woods with dad, my little pets : turtles, guinea pig, hamster . Sometimes tadpoles, too. Close to my parents house there was an old wall. Flawed, crumbling. In my phantasy there were different “rooms” in those crumbling parts of the wall and on top of it and i had a small pink rosebud off some rosebush which was my little “doll”. Rosebud-doll lived in those “rooms”. I walked the rosebud around in and on this wall and… Read more »

Gabi what wonderful childhood memories you have. Sounds like you had so much fun. I never could skate much, I could not balance. But I had no trouble riding my bike! Loved my bike. Such a cute story with Rosebud! And I will NEVER forget walking the blind lady! I never did want cigarettes. I had fun with the rubber band “gun”. It was made out of a cardboard roll which was part of a clothes hanger and a trigger that was a clothes pin. Gabi! Shooting your husband!

Bet you were a sweet little stinker when you were little. With your rubber band gun, lol and doing all the tomboy things.
My biggest and most loved thing was nature and all the little creatures which crept around and also in creeks and lakes.
My dad showed me all of that. Cows , pigs, cats and chicken on a farm. I could milk a cow.
Stupid me did smoke cigarettes for some years. But not any more since a long time.

I was a good kid, very shy. I grew up in a city, but had a big yard for that part of the city. So no farm animals around. I would have enjoyed all the things you did. I have always loved animals.

I was a terrible kid when i was in my puberty.
Wanted to hang out with my friends in our town more often than learning for school.
My parents didnt like my ideas back then too much. 🙂. Dad was strict. ….and he was right. Mom was not so strict.
Now i need to shut down, can hardly keep my eyes open.

I had a very happy childhood and a happy teenhood , when i look back at it. And i had very good parents. I would love to still have them…. oh no… tears coming….

Still feeling this way after all those years they are gone now. Hmmmm, i had to look up the word overachiever. Maybe you were like that when in school or being a teacher.

I’m sorry Gabi for your sometimes tears. Your love for your parents was very deep and strong. It is a testament to what wonderful people they were for the emotions to still be so strong. They live in your heart. I hope the tears aren’t too often, that the memories bring mostly love and joy. Their legacy still lives on earth through you.
