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.

Okay we just finished eating. I’m tired and I’m off to bed. Julie, I went with olive oil instead of Rick’s red sauce which he was like what you’re not going to eat the red sauce I made?

Colorado’s own Mikaela Schiffrin won her 6th World Championship in downhill skiing this last weekend  🏂  She is also part owner of the Denver Summit FC women’s professional soccer team, along with Peyton Manning.

The bat has been the official logo of Bacardi rum since 1862, chosen because founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó discovered fruit bats living in the rafters of his first distillery in Santiago de Cuba. His wife, Doña Amalia, suggested the bat as a symbol of good fortune, family unity, and health.

Hello ladies — I’m still out running errands with/for my husband. We are at Safeway now, and when we’re finished here, it will be time to look for a fast food joint. I just wanted to share this one thing real quick. Although I can’t stand driving in downtown traffic, I did have an experience I’ll never forget. I pulled up to a light after I dropped my husband off at an appointment, and I waited as cars crossed the intersection in front of me. After my light turned green and before I started moving forward, I looked to my… Read more »

Wow Karen how special is that! I can’t imagine why she was riding a horse down town, but the horse must be acclimated to this. There wasn’t an Easter parade was there? Or if one is coming up, maybe she was trying to get the horse used to down town.

No, no Easter parade or anything that I could tell. I did see her a few minutes later at a different intersection. I don’t know where she was going or what she was up to. If they hadn’t been so much traffic, I would have stopped and asked lots of questions. Just an ordinary looking horse, not extra pretty or anything. She was in jeans and a t-shirt.

Good evening BellaFam  💖 
Sheet day; laundry done, shower done. Made a run to the post office, dropped off payment of the water/trash bill. Other than that, pretty quiet around here. Got to 86 today; dropping down to a high of 64 expected tomo. Such weird weather  🤔
