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.

Good morning Bella Buds, we are 70 already. I’m going to make a new Catalina French salad dressing. It is sugar free, and I can make it fat free. I’m hoping it is tasty. Tossed salads or even chef’s can be low calorie and healthy if not for the dressing. But I don’t like no dressing and forget the oft advised lemon juice! So we will see how good it is. I bought Xanthan gum as a thickener. ‘My this and that when not in the kitchen will be hopefully finishing up cleaning my files. It has been a tough… Read more »

homemade dressing is healthier, there is a lot of crap added to the store ones. I might make one with just olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices.

My recipe said I could make it fat free or 1-2 tbs olive oil. I can tweak the recipe. I’ve already learned to mix the gum with a liquid immediately or it will clump!

The sugar free have a lot of calories, like 80 per 1 or two tablespoons. I like a lot of dressing, so I wanted to make a lower calorie one. I can find oil free, sugar free, but I haven’t found oil and sugar free.

Oil has a lot of calories. I’m watching both bad carbs and calories. To loose weight you need to do that for sure. When you are done loosing and want maintenance, then you can add calories. Yes, I know olive oil is good for you, but I eat plenty on my low calorie veggies I cook, as well as when I pan fry meats.

Good morning…my sister is still here at our mom’s…she stayed because she was tired and also her DH said maybe he’d be ok for a few days and to see how he is tomorrow/today…so not sure yet when she will leave. We (our mom, sister, and I ) went to McD’s for fish sandwiches and sat in the park to eat them. She didn’t come over last night, too tired. We have a chance of rain and storms later today, late afternoon. Last night I watched AI …there are several that I like. bbl…

Hi Lynn
It would be nice if your sister stays a few days.

Hi Ardy…either way it’s fine…don’t know what she’ll decide..if she stays she’ll mostly do jobs at our mom’s and the weather doesn’t look that great this week. Yesterday was nice.

Good morning Lynn, I’m glad your sister has a little more time there. Seems to me she was tired when she first got there. I think you don’t like your local Arby’s, but ours has a fish sandwich that is way better than McDonald’s. At least ours is. Years ago my barber asked if I had got one, said they were really good. So I did, and they were. They only have them during Lent so they won’t be around much longer. I haven’t watched AI yet, maybe today.

hmm? I like Arby’s and so does DH. I do think McD’s fish sandwich is easier on the stomach. Also it’s farther to go and my sister said the same thing, easier on the stomach and there was a park closer to McD’s. DH and I did get the fish at Arby’s a couple times already, he likes the McD’s fish a bit better. He likes the roast beef sandwiches and maybe the reubens there.

I dont like the Reubens at Arby’s, at least the one we got them from. I prefer to get them from a better place…..even bars make great Reubens here.

Good Morning Lynn, I watched both AI and the Voice last night so many good singers and voices-its nice to hear different voices and not everyone sounding alike or the same style. 😘Glad your sister stuck around and you got to picnic in the park😍

My bell doesn’t work either, and on my tablet I don’t even see the ball. Congratulations on loosing 12 pounds. That is a lot because you are not very heavy, should make a big difference. Awwww the cute little dachshunds! They came from Germany you know. When our family got ours I had to go to the library to find a German name for the registration papers! Hope you enjoyed all the shopping. It can be very tiring, but fun too, especially with your daughter.

Hi Debbie. 🤗 Ty so much for thinking of us. just getting ready to eat. 😬 I plan to talk to vet tmrw. Before I go in. Couldn”t get through to her today. I probably won’t be back on the hummer site til tmrw. I am having an Arby’s roast beef sandwich with red ranch on it it. It will be so good! Plus I am having potato cakes. Then I will stay up about half an hour or an hour to work some of that off. Plus I have to work on dog food tonight. Some days just get… Read more »

Good night Karen. Enjoy your Arby’s. I love Arby’s red sauce that comes on the beef n cheddar. Let us know what the vet says.
You really are a busy bee. I couldn’t do your long day, and still dog food to do. Thank for being happy for me that I’m better. The trying to actually loose weight should be over in a month or two, I’m already normal. Now you wrap up your work, get to bed and get your sleep. Wishing you those kind of dreams you hate to wake up from. Peace in your heart. Love you.
