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.

Maybe just to have more time to visit, or maybe go to Aldi’s, Fleet, or something.

I wanted to use up the bacon instead of just eating it so that’s how I came up with the pea salad

I have made it with canned peas but I didnt like that as well.

KyDebbie

I like few canned veggies. Most frozen are better. I’ll use canned carrot on occasion but usually fresh, different beans. Green beans in the winter but I lightly boil them, drain them, wash them then cook them, trying to get rid of the canned taste. I seldom use canned corn, never peas.

I think the frozen hold up better the canned just turn to mush, but it still tastes good

Hello everybody, I am stopping by quick while I can. I have been trying to renew Rick’s driver’s license online. Yesterday my camera was turned off which I didn’t even know there was a turn off button so I got it working and now this morning it still says it won’t detect his face and now we’re on a 30 minute timeout before we can try it again. Talk about frustrating. Anyway I’ve decided that I want to have a pea salad so I’m going to make a pea salad right now and then we’ll have chicken legs on the… Read more »

Hi Ardy. I miss the old days when we had manuals that told us how to operate everything. There was an advertisement on Facebook where you could get one tip every day about something you can do on an iPhone. I was trying to read comments to see if it was legit. One guy said you don’t need the service or tips, you can google and find out anything you want to know. I’m thinking true, but what about the things I don’t even know exists? Don’t know to ask. Your camera thing reminded me of that. You didn’t know… Read more »

There’s a little tiny slide bar on top of my camera Which I had no idea and somehow it got slid across to off , otherwise I do not use my camera but Rick needs to have his picture taken to verify who he is to renew his driver’s license online

Can’t they use his old picture they have on record? I was able to do that with my ID here the picture just went on the new card, Might just have to go to the DMV and have them take a picture

When I got my star license I had to have the picture taken. I imagine they want an updated photo. Maybe they don’t require a new photo every time you renew.

I didn’t think so either until my Dad died and I had to take Mom several times to a VA office. That was before the Real ID existed.

at my age you don’t have to do jury duty and not all juries are in a federal courthouse although I have done it twice in my lifetime

I don’t mind being in the plane that’s my favorite part taking off and landing but the airports are kind of crazy now and it seems like the planes are never on time so there is stress involved on my part hoping I make my connecting flight But if I want to go to Minnesota this summer there’s only one way to go and that’s on an airplane✈️✈️

Deborah

Good morning Bella Buds and a good day to you. We are 74, going to 82. Another time spent on the phone trying to get my rheumatoid med ordered. I called Tuesday to the pharmacy and they were supposed to contact the doc office. Nothing has happened. So I call doc office, speak to the nurse. She tells me I have to call some office that handles or authorizes the meds! So I had to call them, who will contact the doc office for a prescription, who will forward it to the office that authorizes, who will send the script… Read more »

It seems to much! The first of the year this doc office came under new ownership. I guess eventually it will get easier. Lots of changes to how things are done, but same providers thank goodness.

Good morning Debbieseems to me the communication should be through the conversation between the Docror and who authorizes it – I thought the doctor authorized things? I would be afraid to come here too-the whole world feels like that😪

The doctor prescribes, but insurance authorizes payment unless you pay out of pocket. But you brought up something. Why does some doctor’s office owner have anything to do with it?

Good morning Ardyth😍 your dinner looked good last night😋 a sweatshirt is part of my everyday wear😂 I think sometimes people might not think I change my clothes😂 when we were kids we used to say Mom were bored and then she would say I will find you something to do-like clean the garage, wash the car,clean your drawers, scrub the bath tub-we learned not to say bored, my Mom would say bored is not in our vocabulary😂 I can hear her saying it right now😂funny memory😜
