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.

Hi Julie I’m glad you enjoyed your day outside. Did you ever find out about the hawk? I can’t believe the wildlife you have in your neighborhood. You have way more than me and look where I live.

I have a question since some of us are sorting through things………..do you save every card you receive?

I take pictures too and like you said I look at them more than if they are in a box, like t-shirts 😁 
I have saved every postcard sent to me and friends still send me postcards and I have saved every cat card too…why? I dont know.

Do you organize them? I know you put your electronic photos in virtual albums. I really think I’m seeing them more this way.

I keep mine for several months, still have a couple from Gramma/Grampa; Mom/Dad, plus other special ones i’ve kept. If i wasn’t so lazy, i would take photos and then dump ’em.

I dont save many Christmas cards but I do save every one that is a picture.

When you think of it, all your photos now I assume are electronic, you don’t have physical copies unless you print them out. So why not do the same for the real ones now. You can’t hardly tell the difference in a picture of a picture.

With the photos you feel like you have the card. I sometimes take the picture of the envelope. Then I throw them. I had quite the stack of cards. Things just pile up. I’ve spent about 3 days now on tax returns that go back to 1976. For the earlier ones I kept about every 3rd or fourth one. Sometimes more if it was a transition period. I weeded out insignificant pages, especially when I started with the CPA in 2011. There were a lot of pages not actually part of the tax return. I kept all the returns for… Read more »

So, I gave and I ordered a final Four t-shirt because I don’t wanna be left without a shirt at the end of this March Madness. If they dont go on ( i pray they do) I dont know if i could still order them or not…..I didnt see any sweet 16 t-shirts on the UofA official site. @KyDebbie I called WALGREENS and left a message that i wouldnt be picking up the prescription. They came to look at our front door step and their minimum orders are $1,000. The girl was very nice. I decided to make angel food… Read more »

No Walmart doesn’t have t-shirts anymore. Neither does Walgreens or the grocery stores. I think VOV has the market on it. It’s not like it was in the ’80s where they sold t-shirts on the corner. They are again but they are the fish bookstore at the u of a

Hello…think I’ll have leftovers for lunch….DH’s hamburger concoction from last night and maybe some of the soup from the deli…didn’t have any last night and it will be 2-3 servings for me. My sister is taking a nap…she’s tired and I guess she’ll let me know later what she’s going to do.

it’s different every time…I’ll ask him in a bit but this time he was following a “Maid Rite” recipe…it has onions, vinegar, a little mustard, I can ask what else and what spices

Sounds sorta like a hamburger with no bun. Has your husband ever tried the keto wraps? Or the G Hughes sauces.

Maid Rites are loose meat, though and there’s more added…no he hasn’t..he never eats wraps.
