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.

Happy Spring Eve!♥️🤗 I didn’t even realize it was that time again, but I wish everyone a great Spring! I spent all my day preparing different foods for Dutchess to eat. I have chopped chicken wing meat (no skin), shredded chicken breast, macaroni noodles, pumpkin, chicken broth, and a couple of other things that I can mix and match any way I want. So hopefully I can keep her interest and satisfy her palette. She has to eat small meals 3 to 4 times a day. She had a really rough night last night, and I was somewhat worried. We… Read more »

was thinking the vet will get her switched over to dog food soon, its her pancreas that’s enlarged, The pancreas makes the stomach function.

Wow Karen you sure have been busy. I would have hated to skin and shred chicken WINGS. That would be hard I would think. So it is ok for her to eat pasta? Are you still giving the canned Royal Canine? What is keeping Dutchess up most of the night. Nausea? Pain? Poor little baby, and poor Mama. Sleep deprived. Tired. Worried. You are a very good mama Karen, and I’m sorry you both are dealing with this. It has been a week and it has to be hard. Love you sweetheart and hugs for your baby. Try to get… Read more »

Thank you Debbie. I don’t know what’s keeping her awake. It could be pain or hunger or stress or thirst, I have no idea. She just wakes me up and has a look on on her face saying, “I don’t know what to do mommy, I don’t feel good. I don’t feel like playing and I can’t sleep. I’m totally lost.” And then I don’t know what to do or how to help her. I feel so helpless and I’m hoping the antibiotics will really start kicking in. She did have a couple hours of some excitement today, when she… Read more »

Oh Karen honey I feel so bad for you. I feel your stress and love and worry and compassion. Pancreatitis and a UTI are a double whammy. It is going to take some time to spring back but you got a good vet and it is going to happen. Just love your baby girl and comfort her. You are taking good care of her, putting love into the food you are preparing, giving her her medicine, such a good mama. You hang in there and know you are doing everything right.

She might be feeling better Karen Marie also she might be waking you up because you are doing something when your asleep? maybe snoring or breathing funny, she could hear that and wakes you to make sure your OK? I know of stories of dogs waking their owner for such reasons

I answered above but adding a bit more..when we give antibiotics we also add the fortiflora so they don’t get sick, ours came in little packets and it’s a powder..you sprinkle it on top of the food and we usually didn’t use the whole amount.

Directly above your fortiflora text is visible : reply to debbie.
Debbie will see it in her notification bell, but not karen.
You have to click on the “reply” directly under karens comment, then it goes as a reply to karen and she can see it on her notification bell.
The way it is now, karen would only see it accidentally if she would scroll and i doubt that. The fact that it is under karens post somewhere, doesnt mean anything. I think these things changed on spo a long time ago. 😘😘

Good to see you Karen Marie😍 You have a different routine making Dutchess food, is it only chicken she can have? when my dog Maggie was sick I cooked her chicken and rice but also lean ground beef and rice, check with your vet if using beef would be OK to feed her lean ground beef and rice also- when does she see the vet again? I love the eagle story, its good to get the road kill off the road also so the eagle doesn’t get hit by a car. Her the DNR will drag a road kill deer… Read more »

Yes, we STILL do have pretty good public transportation, but i take my car. Bus stops are partly far away from a supermarket or so. Would have to carry my stuff thru half the town. 🥴 nope, better in my car. I was still reading up those gas costs. Yep, its true. Ours is so bad, almost the highest cost of gas in europe, too. And our government isnt doing anything, like temporarily lowering taxes on it or so. On top of it all – they just give billions of our money away to pay for foreign wars. We stupid… Read more »

Had a wonderful lunch with Chuck/Kitty; the lemon-pepper trout was most excellent, i had it with slaw/mac n cheese. 😋 Filled the gas tank before it gets any worse $$$😟
Julie, sorry about the Badgers 🏀 😔
I think it’s supposed to be Herman, MN; i know it’s not too far from Marquette, MI — one of Chelsea’s BILs lives in Marquette ↓↓

Pam you got internet! Glad you are safely home and had an excellent meal with the best company. I had to look at a Michigan map to get my geography straightened out. I’m thinking, hummm, Wisconsin is between Michigan and MN but yet a Michigan city is near a MN city? Then I thought (all by myself), I guess the upper peninsula goes all across WI. Sure enough it just gets to that little piece of MN that juts eastward!

Hi Debbie! Yes, it’s back. I think there might be a glitch in the bill-pay timing. The same thing happened last month on the 18th; my autopay pulls on the 15th. If it happens again in April, i’ll call them to see what’s going on.

I think I would call them before the next billing cycle to keep your internet from being cut off again. Two months should be enough. Have records available from your credit card that shows two months where the charge was auto-paid on the 15th and service was cut off the 18th.

Then get your bank statements. You can do that online Im sure. You probably won’t need to print them out just tell them the dates they posted them paid. The internet company should be able to figure out what is happening.
