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.

Oh I was confused because you posted the name Chandra is there for her daughter’s wedding so I thought that was Chandra but I really didn’t think so

No Nancy didn’t go because she thought Shonda and the rest would be doing a lot of walking and she just couldn’t keep up.

I could have gone to, then Nancy would have probably gone. I felt I couldn’t even ,are it through the airport unless I arranged for transport. I think airports have that service. I have never had a passport either.

Morning!!! I didnt walk, it was too chilly for me…..lol it was 😁 
I wanted to give myself a pedi and polish my toes. I ordered a new bright pink polish from View your Deal.
I havent been one to wear bright polish but thought I was due for a change, for summer. I am doing lots of laundry.

Oh I love the dark pinks and reds. When I grew up most nail polishes and lipsticks were a pink or red variation.

not me, no one my age wore red lipstick or nails.
When i went to Beauty school in 1972 I polished my nails to match my clothes,,,,white,black, blue, never red.

I have been through a nightmare. To h e double L and back. So maybe I’m exaggerating. GRRRRRR. 🤬🤬🤬. As I’ve told you my iPad is cellular enabled, which means, even tho it is NOT a phone, it is able to access the same cell phone systems as any cell phone. I got an email saying my credit card needed updating (it was not a scam) from the carrier, Verizon. I recently got a new one, same account number, different expire date and security code. I had set this account up at a company store in Lexington which is different… Read more »

so you got a new expiration date, right? so wouldn’t you have to do it again when you reach that date?

KyDebbie

Reply to  Deborah

The card doesn’t expire for 5 years. By that time I’m sure I will need a new iPad and I will probably try to find a new company. But I now have a workable Verizon online account so I can probably handle things myself. I’m also going to read up on using my cell phone as a hotspot for my iPad. I know it is possible but don’t know how secure it is.

Oh I hate some of these things we have to go through.

I have a question……My tablet doesnt have a phone either…I wondered if I took it to MN would it connect to JoAnn WIFI?

KyDebbie
April 2, 2026 1:05 pm

It should but JoAnn would need to know and give you her password to her WiFi. I think my password is actually on my router. I’m not sure.

I did do that and I think I got it done before they gave me the last person. I told him so. I did an “add card”.

The problem was I couldn’t do anything because I didn’t know my PIN. After I got off the phone I thought where the PIN might be. But I got a new PIN and it is on my phone.
