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.

Weak, fragile, but he just kept talking😘 they asked him to drink more water, he drinks a lot of water anyhow, but drinking more has made his urine look better and clear, so its good to hear an improvement. They also have him sitting up and also in a wheel chair. PT everyday

All of that sounds good. You can get weak and fragile just from being in a nursing home. Were his thought processes improved?

Good morning Bella Buds and a good Sunday to you. We are 70 already, bright and sunny. I don’t know what this and that things I will do, but I suppose I’ll find plenty. Y’all have the best day possible.

Have a great day with all those this and that things. I see that you had a good night. Good ! I hope that the green machine is friendly to you, lol. 🦜 😄 .
Byeee for now, hugs and 😘😘.

Not to forget: HELLO ALL YOU BELLAS ! 🙂

Good evening Gabi, hope you have had a good Sunday. I sure love spring. I have a window open! There is a cluster of wild daffodils blooming. I haven’t seen a hummingbird yet but I’ve been watching. I guess it is about your supper time now, then some couch time with hubby.

So nice, when you can have open windows without any…well, you know, …stinky smells. I had mine open today, too, but only for like 10 min .
Then stinky came up, because window was opened under me.
Oh boy, i always mention the same old stuff, sorry.
I hope you will see a hummerling soon.
Supper is already finished. Broccoli, chicken, …14 pounds less today.🧜‍♀️🤭

Gabi that is great! 14 pounds is a lot for you because you were never big. You have done good. Yes, I thought about your stinky problem when I commented on my window open. I’m sorry you have to live under these circumstances. I wish you could move to a better circumstance. Maybe some day you can live where the smells are of nature. I know how smells of different food cultures can be. Some of my international friends had very strong smelling cooking foods. I’m off to get a shower.

Good morning Sunshine. If you are muggy I suppose it will be worse when it warms up. But then again, maybe it is because it rained. Bet you spend time outside with Jade. Did you take care of the finch nest?

I will get outside today, and get Jade outside. I’m just leaving the nest for now. She is just building it,the wind keeps on blowing the nest material off the light-so just letting nature take its course. She might build else where on her own. The nest she’s building isn’t very good, not like a robins nest. Its just grass and tiny sticks laying there on top, then the wind blows it off

Morning
Early church for me then at 11:00 I am going to JCP to see if i can find any tops/capris for my trip this summer.
Oh at 12:30 this morning Kyeron sent me a message…he isnt interested in the albums but he is if i have more t-shirts but I dont have anymore I want to part with 

julie
April 12, 2026 9:08 am

Good Morning Ardyth😍 He can sell the T-sirts, albums take up space harder to sell I suppose. Save some room in your suitcase to bring souvenirs back with you. Lots of shops you will get to shop up here😍

Reply to  julie

I’m not so sure he’s going to sell all the t-shirts that he bought from me because he thought they were cool. I think he might even wear them. I don’t know it doesn’t matter. As for the albums, I have no idea why he changed his mind well, I always take a big suitcase but Joanne kind of made the comment. If you can’t pick it up and carry it then you shouldn’t bring a big suitcase and she wasn’t just referring to me. She was referring to her friend Paulette but she has said that to me before… Read more »

Maybe you can ship the popcorn home. Must be awfully good, or maybe it reminds you of home.

I always prepare early. Debbie LOL. As soon as I made my plane reservation, Jo-Ann says you can start working on your list while little did she know I’d already started working on my list. Yes kind of made me mad that we took all the albums down blah blah blah. But the good thing is I got to look at all of them. I got to take pictures of them and now I don’t care if I ever see them again

KyDebbie
April 12, 2026 4:03 pm

There may be a shop in town that buys them. But I suspect you are done fooling with them now.
