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.

has everyone noticed the change in the videos? I don’t know if it’s a YouTube thing or an SPO thing, but I am not happy about it

well, it’s not really a change in the video itself but a change in the functions, look at either cam and you will see these changes

I have found with most of the cams the biggest problem is the scroll back line, some of them work pretty good but others definitely don’t and I have heard others at other sites complain about that also

Howdy-do BellaFam 💖
Some background; Christian/family didn’t grow up with pets. So Christian’s DB/John has been suffering with severe PTSD; poor man. His therapist told him to get a puppy, it would help him focus on something other than what’s in his head; because puppies are a LOT of work 🙄 He got a corgi puppy a couple weeks ago; the family said they’ve already noticed the difference in John. 🤗 i don’t know which of these looks like his; but the little black one kinda looks like John 😄 And no, i don’t know her name.

Yes, for 20 years; stationed in places the family was not allowed to know anything about. Which just makes it that much harder to survive/deal with PTSD — the person has to find a therapist with the same clearance. And we all know Veterans affairs is severely understaffed.

Good morning…it’s colder today…not sure what I’m doing, maybe just a little of this and that. I have plenty of leftover chicken from last night so that will be lunch. We didn’t go to FIL’s this week so not sure when we are going that, maybe tomorrow. It’s a bit chilly in here so going to make some tea, always warms me up.

I called NP Julies assistant to have her get a message to Julie, easier this way. I have decided i want to take the Phentermine diet pills.
Kayla called yesterday to say she sent the message but so far she hasnt called them in and she probably wont,

we discussed it a few months ago. She said that was the only thing for weight loss she would prescribe for me. She told me to think about it – google it and if i wanted it to call. Its been a few months which should not matter…I am desperate now.

Morning! I woke up at the same time but slept hard on the couch and had weird dreams..,they seem to be the same, about Rick rearranging furniture or bringing home old patio furniture…..a nightmare if you ask me.
I didnt walk. Going to do my nails and nothing else planned.

Good Morning Ardyth, thanks for the reminder I can paint my toenails today😍 Dreams can be so fun, I don’t really remember many but I did remember last nights, I was at a Blue Grass festival on a river, Well the Festival was on the banks of the river and we took boats out into the river to listen to the music from there-I didn’t hear any music because I woke up😂

Good morning Bella Buds. Jo is going to eye doc in Somerset. Last Monday I told Jo I would go to Somerset Wednesday but not Friday. She didn’t say anything then about wanting me to go Friday. Last night she asked me what we would bring home to eat, I reminded her I wasn’t going. She looked surprised. No wonder she never listens to what I say! I guess she wants me to go but I didn’t take a shower yesterday. The eye doc is very tiring, always a long wait, and she is only supposed to talk about her… Read more »

I looked at my recent echocardiogram and it said mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation. Like I said there is usually something mild to moderate! If I knew she wanted me to go I would not have gone to Somerset Wednesday. Today I hope to clean the kitchen floor. Remember, I am angry she won’t allow me to hire someone to clean. It really isn’t expensive here. I told her if I can’t hire someone then she do it! I have mentioned the floor several times and she hasn’t done it. So, I hope to do it and when she… Read more »

I fell bunches before my hospitalization and had to call the EMTs to get me up. Now that I have lost weight maybe I could get up by myself but I don’t want to try and can’t.

There was always something to step on in the morning-would makememad because it would stick to my clean pair of socks. Always spilled stuff on the floor around the stove, and he would just leave it there-not pick it up😫

Good morning Sunshine. Taylor had such a good speech the second time on stage, or maybe I should say the last time on stage since I’m not sure of the 2.
Do you have a way of finding out about the hawk?
You and Jadehave a good day.
