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.

Hockey is a lot of fun; just remember to bundle up; hats/gloves, the whole thing — the arena will be freezing cold.

Yes, I think you probably would like baseball. Once you get to know the pitchers and some of the players, you will really like it, I think. It’s cute how each of the players has their own song that sometimes you can hear them playing in the stadiums when they come up for bat or to pitch.

Yes, especially when you’re waiting on them to change the pitcher, as the current one is lousy. Everyone cheers when they hear the music for the new pitcher. 😂

Laundry done; headed to about 75-80 today 🌞 Now that it’s been consistently warmer, the possum & both skunks have been out/eating any cat food left at night; leaving the cats milling around, mewing by the front door when i get out around 8a — they think they’re starving 😏 they’re not.
Guess i better download turbo-tax and get ’em started. Been putting it off because i have to change laptops; from windows 10 to 11 this year. Thank goodness for flash drives 😉

Our wildlife seem to hibernate more in the winter. Chuck says the skunks pay no attention at all to him, the possum watches him warily as he/she heads to the food dishes

To get a skunk to back away from you just stomp your feet, that’s what they do for warning. They will turn and run. Its a good thing to know if just in case. Opossums they don’t care-they just usually run from anything😂

In this instance, we’d rather not scare the skunks; there’s only 1 exit access from where the food dishes live & they’d have to run by the brothers to escape. 😟

But the babies only when they can stand up and from a distance.
I really have never seen the babies, even though i drive by this nest often. But when farmers are working on the fields , the storks are coming and looking for food in the plowed up ground.
Sometimes up to 12 storks in 1 field. We have many storks and nests around here.🙂

Those are herons, they like to be close to water and catch fish. But they are on fields, too.
Storks are on fields, but i saw one by a lake, too. Maybe going after a frog ? Well, thats how these birds do here.

that is a heron.

Pam,
I remember the odd animal which you called YETI in your former home. The one that went after your trash can for food.
Maybe this yeti was a possum or skunk or a raccoon ?

Good afternoon. 🌹 Weather is confused everywhere. Can’t blame it. 😞 We slept in a bit today. I rolled over to a little baby wanting a tummy rub. 🩷 I haven’t seen that in a few days. It was very nice. Now I have to figure out what to cook for supper. I haven’t cooked in a few days. The news is becoming scary. 😧 Be back in a bit or so.
