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.

Wonderful capture Deb 💞
Good morning Bella Buds. More roller coasting temperatures. Seems it is everywhere. We are cloudy 49. 30 degree drop overnight. I’m glad we shouldn’t have rain as I need to pick up a Kroger order at noon. I will probably cook a little something for supper, maybe work some on my little projects. Y’all have a good day.
Morning Debbie😘 coffee clinks I just got here, made myself stay in bed where it was warm we are 35 with wind it feels like 25 our normal temps are 40’s for this time of year. Oh I just here the Coopers Hawk calling, at first I thought it was a woodpecker call then its like aha that’s a hawk so the hawks are back to nest 😍 I will have to keep a eye out for where the nest will be🤓
Hi Julie. I bet you didn’t have to argue too much with yourself to make you stay in bed! 😁. Spring has sprung even with the cooler weather roller coaster. Hope you see the nest.
They like to nest in the big trees here, plus a good food supply fabbits squirrels and birds. I have only heard one probably the male, when the female comes they get very loud as courtship states, they male brings her food and then there’s a lot of yelling😂 The male was calling to see if a female answers back then its down to business😘
Sounds like fun, watching the hawks! Try and stay warm. 🤗
Supper sounds nice! 🥰
I cooked green beans, a Smithfield ham steak, canned beans, frozen biscuits for Jo and I. I’ll heat some Bob Evans potatoes for Jo. I have a little other veggie leftovers.
Yummm. What other beans were in the can?
Just green beans.
I googled. Bob evans are mashed potatoes ?
Me getting hungry. Sounds yummy what you have cooked.
Bob Evans is a casual family restaurant chain and they offer several entrees in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
I LOVE Bob Evans’ products; their mac n cheese is my fave 😋
Casey eats it nearly every night his fave. Jo eats it frequently. I’d be eating eventually.
Their refrigerated Mac is better than anything on the shelf, except maybe the shells and cheese with the velvetta pouch. But it is a lot more work.
Ok, thank you for the info.🙂
Your welcome. I know that brand has 2 flavors mashed potatoes, two flavors macaroni and cheese, fried apples, broccoli casserole. I’m sure there are others.
I usually make that stuff from scratch. Like: cook potatoes, then add hot milk, salt, nutmeg, a bit of butter, mash it, ….and done. I am a fan of “Clean Eating” . (Wikipedia explains it). Nevertheless, i already ate mac and cheese from a box-mix , which was pretty good, too. Maybe 3 times in my life, lol.😉 But i am sure that many people buy this convenience food and it can be good, when there is no time to really cook or so. But i dont think it is healthy to eat a lot of convenience food. Good that… Read more »
These foods have helped me help Jo with meals since I have been dieting, otherwise I would need to cook a lot more. I very seldom eat any white potatoes or Mac and cheese, and I do it is just a tiny taste smaller than a bite. I usually don’t eat most of what she eats. And I don’t like cooking! It is good you cook foods from scratch, always healthier. It is interesting you put nutmeg in white potatoes, maybe you are cooking sweet potatoes.
So jo isnt cooking for herself ? Well, then it seems to be helpful to serve these meals. I know those tiny taste-bites, too. Just to remember the taste.
The potatoes i use for mashed are normal potatoes with a yellowish “insides”. Just a dash of nutmeg in the mashed potatoes is very good.
I cook sweet potatoes, too, but i dont mash them.
Ok sweetie, its bedtime for me. Good night.🥰😘 hugs &love.
Jo cooks simple things. She is more likely to fix her lunch, especially eggs. She seldom cooks anything at night except a tv dinner or so,ething just heatable. I cook and eat sweet potatoes. They are much healthier and diet friendly. When I wasn’t dieting I did eat white potatoes.
Good night sweet Gabi. I gotta go get Casey’s supper very soon.
Yes, i was reading that with the healthy sweet potatoes and diet friendly. That is good. I like them, too. Most of our sweet potatoes in stores come from USA.😃.
Jo can be glad to have you. Cooking and caring for her. (You would walk a blind lady, too, lol.)
Me off now, bed is calling and eyeballs wanna close.😘
Good night Gabi Habi and friend. 🥰♥️♥️
😘
Jo does things for me too.
You 2 help each other. That is so good.😃
Brat’s supper.😁
Good Morning Bellas, I cleaned up the kitchen did dishes made my coffee. Was enjoying looking out the windows at the birds its a sunny morning, Coffee clinks
Good morning Sunshine. Enjoy the birds and coffee. I was wondering if Gery is missing Madison after such a long stay north. Did your Mom have anything to say about your Dad when you talked yesterday?
Yes, I forgot to say yesterday. When they went to visit Dad on Friday the nurses had him up and sitting in a wheel chair, that was big. The physical therapist sees improvement in him he can roll side to side strength is improving, and he tried to get out of bed to go to the bathroom, he fell no injuries but it that he did it😍 I do think that because the Mercer is gone he’s so much better and able to make some progress
Wonderful news. Seems the MRSA set him back more than the stroke. I was in a position where I couldn’t turn over in bed or sit up. So to be able to sit in a wheelchair is a big deal. If he goes backward even a little request a urinalysis, nursing homes seem to cause UTI to spring up. Also it is good to take cranberry capsules. They don’t routinely give them, you have to request them.
I think the wheel chair was a very big deal, now he can get out of his room it gives him soom freedom😍 he has become friends with the cook there and the cook has checked on Dad to make sure he can eat the food it has to do with the size of the food pieces, my Dad shakes so he can’t have soup, he has to have things and pieces of food he can stab with a fork or use his fingers to eat, this cook is trying to make it so my Dad can eat (bless him)my… Read more »
I’m surprised an aide isn’t coming in to cut his meat for him, open up packets and tops, things like that. That is a wonderful chef, wonder how your father even met him. Soups could be put in a blender and made drinkable if he wanted soup.
I remember my dad was only able to eat certain things and the cook or cooks would puree it for him…we could see the cook and talk to her.
sweet Lynn😘
He wouldn’t be able to hold the glass-his hands and fingers don’t work well, he never was much of a soup eater anyhow, good idea but it wouldn’t work. It also depends on what the food is and if it can be stabbed with a fork or picked up with his fingers. The place has a kitchen the cook might of gone to see him or my Dad asked to see him, they are in the same building
And it could have been the dietician who may have some cooking duties in a small place.
not sure if there’s a dietitian? its a small place-my Mom hasn’t mentioned that there is a dietition, its a small rural place in a very small towne
They could have a dietician tech, even a traveling one. It is probably like the nursing home in Columbia. I had two different rehabs in that one, about a year or two apart. My county has a nursing home with a rehab part too.
I was curious and googled:
Yes, Wisconsin nursing homes are required to employ a registered dietitian (RD) or retain one on a consultant basis to plan, direct, and ensure the implementation of dietary services. While a dietitian is required, the facility may use a consultant rather than a full-time staff member. Wisconsin.Gov Home (.gov)
+1
Thanks a dietitian was never mentioned by my Mom so that’s all I know about it, and that my Mom mentioned that the food wasn’t great that’s all I have heard about it and that my Dad hates the food. That’s all I know, can’t talk about something I don’t know about. How did we get on this dietitian talk any how?😂 I don’t know about it or what they do where my Dad is at, I just talked about a cook, my Mom called the person a cook, not a dietitan
Yes I brought it up because I thought it unusual for a cook to personally talk to your dad, so that is how we got on it. I just wondered. I’ll be more careful what I bring up. I know you aren’t there to know details.
maybe he eats in his room? where my dad was, they ate right near the kitchen
My Dad is in bed he eats from the bed tray they bring into him, this is a small place people eat in their rooms
oh…the ones around here either have a few small dining rooms or a big one.
I’ve always ate in my room.
I eat in my room now😘
I was talking about when I was in the nursing home. One of the places, I think the one in Nashville, gave me the option of eating in the dining room. But usually temporary rehab people eat in their rooms and more permanent residents who are able to go to the dining room either go or are taken.
here everyone can eat in the dining rooms..my mom wasn’t there as long as my dad and very very social..she entertained the people in the dining room, lol
I’d like to meet your Mom!
So cool that your Dad and the cook are buds. He has a friend and a “chef.”
That is really good to hear, Julie. Your Dad is feeling better!! Now he can get better. 💗
Good morning it’s a beautiful day in Tucson it’s 63 and sunny at 8:00 in the morning. I was able to walk early the sun is rising much earlier now so I think I walked about 6:00. No plans for the day. Here is my chai tea latte in my Keurig
yum and cute mug 😊
My friend made it for me
Morning Ardyth😍 the Keurig is the is the thing with that you put the pods in? or is your cup a Keurig? its a pretty cup😘
I have never used one
Hi Julie, the Keurig is what you put your pods in here’s a picture. One of the gals I used to work with made this coffee cup for me for a birthday present
I do love the mug😍 I thought you were calling the mug a Keurig? I knew you got on of the makers😃
😍it did sound that way
Good morning Ardy. I didn’t know you had a Keurig. Did the keurig make the foam or did you add it?
think she means what she made it with..i have a keurig, ,too…mostly I like to use the eco pods, don’t like throwing away the plastic
Thanks Lynn for the info, I have never used one
I have one too and you can also use the little basket and use your own coffee rather than a pod, I’m not a big fan of flavored coffee but like it now and then for a treat…I like my coffee just black
Deborah there you are😘 I was thinking yesterday that I hadn’t seen you in a few days, good to see you😍 that’s a cool trick to use your own coffee and you can use the basket over again. That’s the way to do it😃
I’ve been around, just don’t always say anything 🙂
I usually do that too, unless I have my vanilla hazelnut coffee pods 😀 (Cameron’s eco pods) and mostly DH just uses the ground coffee..I did like my little coffee maker but we make different kinds of coffee and he likes his stronger so the keurig is better, I guess…mine is bigger and black, I prefer white, goes with everything else in my kitchen
Hi Deb I have one of those things but it is solid. I’ve never used it but have been thinking of trying it out. I usually drink dark roast coffee black, but lately have had a couple of flavored coffee at a time.
yeah, the baskets aren’t all the same but serve the same purpose, I just took this from google images…I use mine when I want a quick cup of coffee but don’t want to make a whole pot
do they work in all kerigs?
I recycle my plastic
I tried that but seemed it wasn’t worth it to waste all the water getting the grounds out and also tearing the filter part off is a bit difficult
I added it it’s whipped cream in the can
Yum.
Rick gave it to me for Christmas. I drank Jolene’s chai tea pods when i went to her funeral with whipped cream from a can on top
Good morning…only 34, high of 46 today. I’ll finish laundry and not sure what else. DH is working here, so tired because his dad kept him awake all night…of course, his dad can just sleep all day….the other day a caregiver too him outside for a couple hours. Since I only have one cup of coffee now, going to make some decaf tea….Bane is upset, can’t find his toy and I can’t either..
Good morning Lynn sounds like it’s going to be a chilly day for you
Good morning Lynn. Poor DH. It is hard to still be working and take care of a parent.
yes, he doesn’t get enough sleep most nights and is tired all the time.
I was going through old stuff yesterday all the stuff I had to do to get Mom in a place to afford assisted living and nursing home. All her assets consisted only of she owned a home and got social security and some VA assistance from my father. Nothing else. She lived 9 years after my father died. Independent living, assisted living, nursing home. We never applied for SSI, made it through just on the things I listed.
Good morning Lynn, I’m having my dirty chai-coffee and a chai tea bag in it. I don’t use a coffee maker any more just use my tea pot and instant coffee. If I’m having ground coffee I use my French Press
a French press makes really good coffee in my opinion
Oh no! what could have happened to Bane’s toy? Scout? I hope he finds it. Dutchess worries all day or night if she can’t find one.
……………………..soooooo stressful
Not any more!
Until Thursday night…game isnt until 7pm
Oh dear your bedtime. Will you watch?
Congrats to the Wildcats! 🤸♀️🤸♀️
Thanks…..I cant take the stress!!!!!!!!!!!
