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 Sunshine. I see you made it through any storms. I have no plan either. I’ll find things to do. I may clean the kitchen floor, cook a sweet potato, clean a drawer, watch a tv show. This afternoon Louisville nas a huge air show and later firework on the river, hence it is called Thunder Over the River. It is the annual kickoff to the 2 week long Derby Festival. We used to watch it on tv all day long, kept it on that channel. Now we don’t get the Louisville tv station. I’ll see if YouTube has… Read more »

I do use my microphone. It’s the emoticons and correcting typos that make me go back to text mode. Once I realize I want to do something like that, I have to remember how to get to text all over again. And then back. The two phones are completely different there.

I don’t have much paperwork to do now. I cleaned out all my files. I do have some things on my mind to do, but no hurry right now. I thought by now the holders of my retirement accounts would be contacting me about drawing out the required annual money for those accounts as required by law. I have to start that this year, I thought they would contact me.

It has to do with the laws surrounding accounts like 401K, 457K, 403K retirement accounts. The accounts help you save for retirement. Then by the time you get to be a certain age, you have to draw out a certain amount. I don’t know why the law is this way. Some of it I’m sure is so the government can tax the money. But some of the accounts called Roth were taxed when you were making the money and then draw interest that is not taxed.

Good morning, Debbie. I answered below, to your question you posted at 8:54 am. I didn’t mean to worry you, it’s just one of those illnesses that takes a while to heal totally sometimes. I bug the vets often. They have a few vets there, and I have talked to most of them. They are highly rated.

No, I kind of like being able to talk to all of the vets. Same building, why not. The more expertise, the better right now, in my opinion. Maybe once this is over with, I will select one over the others. Thank you for the hugs. I am doing okay right now. Like you, I’m having trouble with weather changes. We got cold weather all of a sudden with snow, and that drastic of a change is no fun for me usually. I really feel old now. 👵

Actually, the vets’ opinions are pretty much the same regarding treatment. A little difference here and there regarding why it happened. And yes, although I have lived in Colorado almost forever, and I’m used to seeing the weather change within minutes from one extreme to the other, it’s doubly annoying now. And you’re right, it has been proven that it is not our imagination.

The newspapers say, it is because officials want permits of the vets, of the helpers, everybodys names need to be officially documented. Madness of bureaucracy. Typical german. Oh i hate it !! 😭 Precious time is wasted with those darn office idiots 🐖 🐖 and stupid local government. Fu..i.g save the whale finally, let the people do it !

I hope he 🐳can be rescued, swim in the atlantic ocean again, eat krill, find a family and sing his beautiful whale songs with them. I had called the water police there last week. They are involved in the whale drama , too. I had asked them, to play whale songs ( their communication) to timmy, to maybe activate him to work himself off this sandbank where he is stuck. They said that they would pass it on… There are so many “experts” involved, everybody has a different opinion and they didnt do anything for the whale rescue-wise. They said,… Read more »

There is an usa-vet for timmy, she has no work permission here. Those rich folks who support all this had her fly over . Local government of the baltic sea there said,that this (no permission to work here) is a problem. Application had to be made, it’s this way for all the helpers there. The most crazy thing is: the helpers put special cream on timmys skin on his back and cover it with towels or so, to heal some wounds. He is normally in an ocean with higher salt content. There is less salt where he is now. Not… Read more »

Thanks, www. I watched 2 bald eagles mourn the deaths of their two eaglets last year. No doubt that they were feeling the loss. I don’t think that means they should be treated like human beings, though. Nor do I think they should be treated like useless, inanimate objects or beings lacking consciousness, perception, or the ability to feel physical/emotional pain, like some are treating the whale, or even the dogs mentioned yesterday.

I agree. I didnt see those eagles, but i am sure they could feel the loss. With everything you said i do agree.
I had meant for example dogs with unnatural “haircuts”, bows on the head, dresses on, nails colored, have to sit in a big handbag instead of sniffing around and running. Dog treated like a kid… that stuff i had been thinking of. To me it is important that an animal has a species-appropriate life. 🐈🐕🦅🦉🐢🥰.

Gabi I have read all your posts about Timmy, including the first one earlier. It is horrible all this government interference. About the cream. Maybe the American can apply for a guest visa that lasts longer? Or an emergency visa? Then instead of the American applying the cream, he/she teaches the German how to do it. If these German rich helpers are very rich, they are probably influential with the government high up officials. In the United States, get the help of one of the US senate or house.
