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…raining again! and more on and off all day…it came down so hard last night that two towels were soaked through on the mantel. I’m thinking my sister will work on projects at our mom’s and maybe come here for a break at some point. She is undecided when to leave…I’m thinking she might stay until tomorrow after all because of the weather…last night her DH told her he’d call her back after coming up from the basement and if he didn’t, she was going to call their foster son to help him. So he made it back up…my… Read more »

Good morning Lynn. That indoor rain must be very frustrating. I’m sorry for sis’s husband. Was this a new thing with him, or a resurgence of an old problem.

Hello Wishing you happy easter-days already now. 🐇 🐰 🐇 🐰 🐇 🐰 🐇 . I was furniture shopping with dd yesterday, we were walking around in the store for 7 hours.

I had a soup and a salad, the cucumbers in the salad were sourish and slimy. I told them and they didnt really care. The staff was next to us sitting… Read more »

That is too bad you cant be Up North for Easter. Does your brother ever plan on coming back? Are you lonely being alone?
How is your dad doing?

Good morning! That is an awfully long day to be shopping for anything. I would have had to have found a chair and sat down for a while. That’s too bad about your Chinese food. We never know where to go for Chinese food because some of them are not that good. But slimy cucumbers Now that’s gross. It doesn’t surprise me that they didn’t care. A couple Christmases ago we ate at a Chinese restaurant that we had been to before and I had a piece of metal in my food And when I showed it to him they… Read more »

Hi Gabi, oh wow! I can’t imagine walking around in one store 7 hours! How fun, but how exhausting. Sorry about the bad food and poor service at the restaurant. How rude of the loud staff. I’m glad you had an Easter treat. You did so much walking those calories and carbs don’t count!
My niece and family are in England for her daughter’s wedding which is today.Tomorrow the newly weds are going to German, I suppose for their honeymoon. Maybe you see them? Ha Ha. You have a nice Easter too.

Survivor in my time zone was supposed to be part before President’s speech part afterward. I had both parts set to tape but it seems the first part didn’t tape. And I didn’t understand what was going on the 2nd part.
