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.

Hello my Lassies😍 I’m back inside tomorrows another day, it will be warmer I just have one corner of the yard to cut down sapplings accomplished alot hate cutting down trees but they are in a bad spot-should get the side of the house to, if they don’t get cut back they just get bigger. Jade had fun outside she did her favorite hobby rolling in the dirt, I saw crocus blooming but I couldn’t take a picture my phone battery was low

here’s a gift for you of these sweet purple flowers💜

I cleaned today and also walked, farther than my usual. Oh my back hurts so much to get up off the couch, etc. and it hurts walking too. I guess if I didnt do anything maybe it wouldnt hurt but I said to Rick, who would clean and do laundry?? When we were at the street fair Rick wanted to talk to the people at this booth that “covers your ugly..durable concrete coatings.” Our little cement doorstep into our house (front door) is crumbling. The cement is as old as our house and it was built in 1959. So they gave… Read more »

I’m really sorry about your back Ardy.
I get so MAD when a company or individual does me that way. I’ve stayed home on purpose all day for a non-show.

They had bigger fish to fry. They should have just leveled with you. At least not set up an appointment then not come. I’m sure you didn’t hold a gun to their head.

Ardyth, I’m so sorry your back hurts like that. 😟 They say that when that happens, the whole body kind of feels it. I wish you could find a way to fix whatever is causing it. Maybe you could hire a part-time maid who could only do a couple of things for you. Possibly one who needed her hair cut and styled off and on. Kind of like a barter system.

Good afternoon…walked both dogs separately and it’s really nice out…then I walked by myself…DH came home and is working here at the dining room table..when he’s done I’ll see if he wants to go to his dad’s ..Aldi is near there so we could get whatever his dad needs and some cream for us and maybe cheese. Today I took pictures of pictures…several of my friend and coworker who passed..we worked at a preschool together..I’m going to send them to her daughter through text…when I send a card I’m going to share some memories.

Hi Lynn you had a lot of nice walks. It is nice to prepare photos and send them and memories to your friend’s daughter. Those things mean so much. It makes me so mad to think I need to me careful opening an email from a friend. See,s so,ething could be done to stop this, and fake stuff generated by artificial intelligence.

It isn’t your fault. Do you know how it happened, like you opened an email? I open emails all the time, but I don’t click further, sorta like John said. I don’t know how anyone can tell of an email from a friend is not legitimate unless it is opened.

At least a week ago I got an email from a church lady I know and it said it was an invite for lunch….At first I didnt open it and then I did and knew immediately it wasnt right so got out of it and deleted it.
So i imagine it has something to do with that email I got

I would have opened that email too. You were smart to realize it wasn’t right after opening it.

Looks like one has fledged. Did the other one or is it just sitting on the edge of the nest?

Well I was going to come here and chat before everybody started sending me messages asking me if I sent them an email. No I didn’t. Obviously what happened was a week ago or so I got an email from a church lady that I know and it was an invitation to a lunch so I figured it was legit and when I opened it I knew it wasn’t so I quickly got out of it. So I’m guessing it got my contact list because it sent the same dang thing out to everybody and their brother. Anyway John even… Read more »
