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.

I didn’t know what was going on! Can you imagine what was going on in my brain? I thought all kinds of things. I was thinking, do I call her? She has to be in that car with the police. Then I get the second photo, is her house burning down? I’m debating what to do when she calls me! Good grief! You know I am under the care of a cardiologist! 🤣. Oh my!

I’m sorry honey I sent the picture after I had posted about what was going on, since I couldn’t post what was happening, I thought I would let you know so you could tell everyone

I can’t believe you had the foresight to carry a camera with you. And then to actually take a picture inside the police car. That’s funny. And yes, they are all cuties these days. 😆 What an experience! I heard Jade is fine. How is your house?

I was so sad to wake up and hear that two of our beautiful giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo passed away. One on the 8th and one on the 13th. One from old age, and one from an unknown reason so far. The younger one was known as a pioneer in giraffe husbandry care due to his willingness to participate in new test procedures (remaining fully conscious). A really sad time for the zoo. 😥

Well this is weird I just had a fireman come to the front door, neighbor across the street hit a gas main at the door I could smell gas, any how they were evacuating me the wanted me to move 300 yards away from the house. I told have a car to evacuate, he said I could shelter in place and that I would be OK. But the Gas and electric company has to come and turn the gas off. I hope its not for the whole street? and if so when it would be turned back on? I’m going… Read more »

A woman went into labor last night and it was the peek of the blizzard, ambulance was called but they couldn’t get to the hospital because of the snow covered roads so a snow plow was sent to plow the way for the ambulance to get through, I love this story😍

Oh yeah, Pam. 🤗 I was up in my room last night, freezing my butt off with the wind going like crazy, and woke up today to sunny Palm Beach Florida. And having Pikes Peak at the back door doesn’t make it much better. 😆 Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change it for the world, but . . . it does get annoying sometimes.

Oh we do, Pam! I didn’t see this earlier, I’m sorry. This quote is very famous and very true. “Don’t like the weather in Colorado? Wait 10 minutes.” Also one shouldn’t really go anywhere without having several layers of clothing and blankets in the trunk, as well as provisions for a day or two.
