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.

Rick just told me that last night he made a turkey sandwich and he said the turkey has got to go so it is now in the garbage. He said it was slimy. I had no taste. So we are through with turkey and ham sandwich meat. I will still continue to eat. Bologna, pepperoni and salami.

Hi ardy
We have this “meat” , too. It is meat particles torn off the bones, shredded, a load of saltwater and chemistry added and then shaped to a kinda loaf, baked and cut. And we people say oh yummy, but it is worthless and unhealthy. We have a show on tv where this was exactly shown. Yuck! So ugly.
Ricks idea is great ! Buy the real thing. Sausage is made in a similar ugly way, like wiener or bologna. I really cant eat it any more.

goodnight and poof….

The only sausage without curing salt over here is “bavarian gelbwurst”. Its a pork and veal sausage. Curing salt is unhealthy, too.
Food industry only cares about money , not people’s health.
Nitrates are in curing salt AND in many veggies ! One reason why it is in veggies , is the manuring.

Yes, that is true. I eat more fish lately. Then again, the fish eats plastic particles in the oceans. And now ? I eat an egg, but the chickens get some food coloring in their chicken food, that their eggyolk gets nice and yellow. I saw it on tv ,plus it was on our news a while ago. I bought organic eggs and they really had a pale yolk.

We buy those often. Cooks is another brand that is good. This type of meat is really good as a biscuit sandwich too. Or slice it up for regular sandwiches.

this meat is still processed google says
Prime Fresh oven-roasted turkey breast is considered a processed food, as are virtually all deli-sliced, pre-cooked turkey products. While marketed as “fresh” and often made from whole muscle, it undergoes processing techniques like cooking, curing, seasoning, and adding sodium to increase shelf life and ensure texture.

KyDebbie
April 16, 2026 2:16 pm

I think just about any meat that is cooked has added sodium. I don’t consider cooking or seasoning as processed. Don’t know much about curing. I think raw, fresh, never frozen turkeys at Thanksgiving even have been injected with sodium. Not sure about that tho.

Ardyth ~ Tucson
April 16, 2026 2:17 pm

Yes, many, if not most, supermarket turkeys at Thanksgiving are pre-injected with a solution containing sodium (salt), water, and sometimes herbs or preservatives to ensure a “juicy,” tender bird and to prevent overcooking.

KyDebbie
April 16, 2026 2:21 pm

I think when the term “processed” is used in a detrimental way it involves a lot more than an injection of sodium. I think milk would be considered processed. Most is both homogenized and pasteurized.

Do you have a deli at a store or a meat market? you can have them slice meat for you. If the Turkey was slimy its growing bacteria that means its spoiled, did you just open the package of Turkey? what was the best by date? you could return it to the store

Coincidence! I just saw Serena Williams doing the Ro weight loss commercial. She said she had lost 34 pounds. Who would have thought she had that much to loose? And she showed her muscles. It certainly doesn’t look like she lost muscle mass.

Good morning Bella Buds, we have a pretty day outside, 72. I looked up my first hummingbird last year, it was April 30th. I was beginning to worry because I had not seen one, but apparently it is too early. I think I finally got my rheumatoid medicine straightened out. I called the new pharmacy, they have my prescription and should be calling this afternoon about delivery. They will courier it to my home. It was like a breath of fresh air. I called and a real person answered the phone. There was not even a press 1 for…press 2… Read more »

Insurance doesn’t want to pay for it. No, they will never stop making it. There are other brands that are similar, and cheaper knock offs. You may have seen Serena Williams advertising on tv a company called Ro that makes a version of it. Yes, Serena, a very fit athlete, still had a weight problem and has lost weight on this drug.

If I could use it until I lost 20 to 25 lb I would pay it. But since you have to be on it the rest of your life, it’s not something I want to do. But I’m happy for you. I’m glad you have finally got yourself to your weight that you want to be at. Congratulations!

April 16, 2026 12:13 pm

Thanks Ardy, I still want to loose 5 pounds. You have not had a life long weight problem. You might be able to use it long enough to loose the weight, shrink your stomach, and change habits and then go off the medicine.

Good morning…60s now, this afternoon will be so nice…70s and sunny. I’ll spend some time outside and on the porch…if DH has time maybe we can walk the dogs at the cemetery….he’s been getting home kind of late, though so we’ll see. I’m not sure what else, I’ll check my list. Last night we went to McD’s to use the buy one, get one…we both got fish sandwiches. Afterwards I got a small vanilla Frosty at Wendy’s. The caregiver had already picked up food at Wendy’s so we didn’t go there. Hope you all have a nice day  😍… Read more »
