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.

The oranges in ardys bread made me remember that : In 1976 me and my mom visited the usa /kansas etc. , we have relatives there. We were there for the bicentennial, too. Mom bought 2 t-shirts for me , they were called ” scratch and smell “. One was “mandarine mac orange” , the other was cinnamon. I liked the orange one. It had a pic of an orange on the chest/breast which i scratched and then i smelled the orange. Even after it was washed, it still smelled like orange. 😁 The cinnamon one smelled ugly.

Hello pam
Those shirts were special for me …from USA. Nobody else had them over here.
I remember also cinnamon chewing gum “dentyne” or so. I brought this home in 1976, too. No cinnamon gum yet in germany in these old days.
Nite pam.💖

Good afternoon. I guess I have been busy today because I haven’t had a chance to stop by. I walked this morning. It is so nice that I can walk earlier now pretty soon I’ll be able to walk at 5:30 and then 5:00 and then I’ll be really happy. And then I decided to make orange bread from a recipe that JoAnn gave me (my best friend from Minnesota) She made it for the coffee party the other day and everybody loved it and a couple people wanted the recipe so I said maybe I should have the recipe… Read more »

Your orange bread looks so good!
That is great, that you have orange- and lemontrees growing there.

Have a good day, dear ardy.🙂🦩…..poof.

Lydia Reis, Tucson’s “Umbrella Lady,” walked miles daily along busy, dangerous roads, likely due to a combination of religious faith and personal tragedy. While rumors suggested she was walking to a family member’s grave, she often stated to others that God took care of her, suggesting it was part of her life’s journey. Faith and Routine: She described her lifestyle as walking with “total faith in God” and appeared to be living in a state of homelessness or inconsistent housing. Lifestyle: She refused to drive and walked with colorful umbrellas and vintage clothes along major roads like North Oracle Road. Impact: She became a… Read more »

Hi Pam…..you cut the oranges in quarters, remove the seeds and put the in the blender with the skin on.

Good grief Julie. Maybe you should go on and walk to the Ideal, and be sure to get a cab home or ask someone there you know if they will take you home. If wind will take down 5 eagle nests think what it will do to you.
