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.

P.S., I had a little accident and slipped on the floor and my head/face fell into the corner of the wall, which relocated my glasses, then I slid on down, landing with a thud on my knees. I have a purple bruise from the top left side of my nose all the way down my nose, down under my eye and down my cheek and my chin and under my chin, all on the left side. Caused by my glasses, when they became dislocated and then my head must have turned and pushed them into my face – I think.… Read more »

OH NO KAREN! I’m so sorry, but thankful for no really serious injury, bones broken. Your face and knees must throb and you are wise to use the ice. Just be aware of your body. My brother in law fell and thought he was doing ok and a week later found out he broke some bone, I forgot which one.

Thank you, Julie. I wish you were here too. 😘 My cheekbone actually has a sore on it, I must have hit it pretty hard and then the swelling and the ice on top of it may have caused a puncture. I hope no bone problem.
I really hope you have a nice day today. You deserve it. ♥️ I will be thinking of you. 😍

Thank you Ardyth. It’s really bothering me because I feel like my face hurts all over. I found I have some soreness above my right eyebrow too. It really snapped me up. I’m going to try to take a picture tomorrow. I hope you had a nice Easter. I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check posts and nests. Good night.

The filling is on the bottom then half of the cake mix then the cream cheese I added a egg to the cream cheese so I could spread it evenly it was a tip from the video and then you put the other half of the mix on top and put butter on it

Ehh, don’t think the Wildcats can come back and beat the Wolverines; they have time, but they’ll have to step up their game in the 2nd half  🏀

They score by 2 pointers getting up to the basket and they cant do what they are used to doing….I had a bad feeling about MI

Michigan is a fast team and to me they are getting rushed, they need to slow down and make their shots and stop fouling Michigan they are making their free throws, and its hard to stop fouling them because they draw the fouls

Well, I am, but I have a piece of my heart in AZ too. So whoever wins, I’ll be both happy and sad.
Chuck asked me about that earlier today.
