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 Bella Buds. I’ve been busy this morning, on the phone. Calling, texting about the problem with my medicine. I’m waiting on a call now from the office manager. I hope something gets done. I even had to call my bank with a problem getting online banking. Jo arranged for a service to mow our grass because she had not had the mower serviced, and they showed up this morning. That got Jo up talking and interrupting my thought trail. That man who has the mowing service cut our grass when Jo had her hernia surgery. We talked to… Read more »

Good morning Sunshine. It will be an inside day for you, you will probably get an inside chore done as I know you can’t sit still too long. Happy birthday to your brothers, the earthly and heavenly one. Watch for butterflies.

Good morning, it is 7:00 a.m. and I am already worn out. I was going to walk at 6:00 and then I decided that I should wash the spare bedroom window for starters. Since we couldn’t get the blinds out I had to hand wash them which was a chore. Then I had to take the screen out and wash it and then I had to close the window and wash the outside and then put the screen back and then wash the inside of the window. They are so hard to push and pull open that. I thought I… Read more »

I always wash the windows by hand. I use a step ladder.

I understand, you washed the blinds by hand. I thought you were still talking about the window.
Be careful on the ladder. You don’t want to break something else.

The blinds are supposed to pull out so i could spray them off on the clothesline and we couldnt get them out so i had to wipe them one row at a time.

No fun at all. Maybe google the brand name and how to remove the blind from the bracket. I have been surprised at what I have found before like that!

Hello!! I slept half the day. I was up really late last night making more dog food. Dutchess will always be on a special diet, as pancreatitis is not curable. She has to be on prescription kibble, and that has been ordered but not received yet, so I’m making my own. Other than that, I’ve been trying to catch up with everything else that is going on. Just trying to cook supper and things like that when i can. I do miss being able to get online and chat. Hoping it will be better starting tomorrow. Now I mainly have… Read more »

Hi Karen. I read miniature schnauzers are predisposed to pancreatitis, but she doesn’t seen over weight and probably hasn’t had a high fat diet. So it is possible this is the acute kind that is treatable and curable. Maybe you can find an easier way to prepare her food such as ground chicken so you don’t have to debone and shred. Maybe things will be easier too once you get the prescription kibble. What brand did the vet order? I suppose you aren’t actually making kibble? But the chicken/rice. I always hate the learning curve that comes with a new… Read more »

Hi I am okay, thank you Debbie. 🩷Just tired and too busy. Dutchess has mini Schnauzer in her — one look at her eyebrows confirms it. 🤣 Her Dad was a mini Schnauzer/mini Poodle mix and her mother was a full-blooded mini Jack Russell. I can’t remember what brand the kibble will be. The vet told me over the phone, but I just can’t remember. My face is doing a lot better. It went through a couple of days of being totally orange after the bruise went away. Really beautiful looking. And yes, I am doing chicken and rice. And… Read more »

Just because she is 1/4 schnauzer doesn’t mean her pancreatitis can’t be cured. She is still 1/4 poodle and 1/2 jack russell. Let’s hope. She is on the mend and you too. I’m glad your face is better. I hope you can see the RA doc soon and he is a good one. I was negative for RA on two tests, the most common ones. But the third test I was extremely positive, the doc said no way a false negative. Casey is good. I am way better than I was two years ago. Now we gotta get you better.… Read more »

This cake would be great for nancy. 👍 👍 By the way : acute dog pancreatitis is curable. Depends on how bad it is, some dogs dont survive. Chronic panc. needs lifelong therapy. No fat in the food or only very little. Special diet. The whole thing is mainly caused, because dogs get too much human food,there is too much fat in it for dogs ,too many seasonings and salt. Animals are not made for human food , oh well. Some are extra sensitive. I hope that karens dog will be better again. When i just now came on spo,… Read more »
