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.
I am so excited, it feels surreal. During Biden’s administration, our local communications company got a grant to install fiber-optics in the rural parts of Colo. I’m not in the city-proper, & have called several times to see if they were ever coming this far west. Well, that day has arrived! They put 2 of those door-handle type flyers with a Christmas special installation on the front door today 🤸♀️🤸♀️ The special is good for the month of December. We may actually be able to use Prime Video without the ever-present blue circle of doom.
WOOHOO Pam😍!!!!!!!!!
Oh WOW Pam that is great! Fiber optic is the best, and it is worth paying a little extra for more whatever it is called, mbs? The fiber optic can handle what plain wire can’t. Congrats!
Thats right
Oh and I got a good chuckle over that commic.
Pay extra? try about $200 a month LESS — satellite is incredibly expensive
That is a lot. My sister paid about $100 for Direct TV. Are you talking about internet?
DirecTV didn’t offer internet out here; i have a whole other company and now i’m going to have fiber; better service and less $$. that’s pretty cool.
It will be cool. So you will have both tv and internet by fiber optic, and tv will be streaming as opposed to cable? Cable can function over fiber optic too.
That will help for your stuff cutting out during storms to, right?
yay Pam! happy for you!
Hi Pam! 🤗 I am so glad this day has finally arrived for you to get good service. Yay! As for the tiny drunk elf, I have a whole new way of looking at autocorrect now. 🧞🧚
Hi Karen ♥ the drunken elf does help understand autocorrect better 😄
LMAO. For sure, Pam. 🤗
Sheet day, ugh; love the end result, just hate doing the work to get there. Turkey’s in the fridge; it always takes longer to thaw than the directions say. Chuck went to the store to get the rest of the meal. i remembered to add Reddi Whip to his list but forgot to tell him to get cream cheese for stuffing celery, i know he won’t remember; however, i think there’s a brick in my own fridge. 😉 Nephew Keegan is home from school, he goes to Heartland in Normal, IL. He brought 2 of his friends with him; both boys… Read more »
How fun for Keegan hosting his friends, Its great he’s made these friends and life long memories being made there. I would bring animals home too. I had a bat, several wild fabbits, cats a dog, frogs turtles, many birds a squirrel good thing I’m not up north I would have deer and any other critter that needs help😘
You and Kitty, “birds of a feather”, or fur or shell, or … or … 😄
Y’all bet fancy with your Thanksgiving meal but it does sound good. It is really good Keegan is bringing international students home with him. It can get lonely for them over the holidays. I brought home several Asian students. They were happy about it because most students from Asia want to learn all they can about American tradition and culture.
Lucky I got my turkey out of the garage fridge. It was frozen solid. And I have also found it to be true it takes longer to thaw a turkey than they say. Maybe we keep our fridge colder than most.
It does take a long time, My Mom is thawing the turkey up north, she started yesterday, if its still really frozen can leave it out on the counter over night, have done that in the past-was just thinking no Micheal coming over to stuff the turkey, he loved doing that, he would take the turkey under the wings and make it walk around, he also gave it a couple of spanks on the butt, really was funny😂 I will miss that💖
I’m glad you are remembering the good things. I know that was hilarious.
We laughed alot😀
That’s pretty funny! I hope you all have a memory-good time
He often named the bird to like Sally, he would talk to it even say that she had a nice big breast😂
🤣😅🥰
😄
0h, I would have been rolling on the floor, holding my stomach. 😊🥰
It will be good, remembering all the little things😍
Hold them in your heart. Maybe even write them down.
Oh, that is so funny, Julie. 😅 Reminds me of that episode of Friends when one or two of them had the turkey on their head!
I had Chuck put the bird in the house-fridge; heck, it’d never thaw if it was in the garage 😄
Better check it tomorrow. I put mine in sink water about 3 hours today.
Do you have your own full size fridge?
I’ll put it in sink water Weds night; it’ll be fine
Good.
Over nite while it was still frozen solid?
That is what Rick will do
I always got my turkey out of the freezer at about 500 p.m. the night before. I ran cool water in the sink, and put the tukey in there and covered it with a cool wet kitchen cloth. The sink was to the top with water.Throughout that evening, about every 45-60 mins, I would change the water and re-wet the cloth and flip the turkey. When I went to bed, I just left it like that all night, and by the time I got up in the morning my turkey was thawed.
I never knew you could leave a turkey out that long. I’m learning.
I am learning too. I guess there are all kinds of ways to do it.
Its important to these international students to get the full experience. Plus its nice to meet and be around family
I could never do our sheets weekly, too much work…I do enough work.😅
Rick did put our turkey in the fridge today too….
Its to hard to make the bed, I couldn’t do weekly
same here
Yep, enough is ENOUGH! Once or twice a month is enough, when you’re talking about adults. Kids? A whole different ball game!!
Pam, doesn’t Chuck have a cell phone? Or do you not have signal there?
Dang, it would be such fun throwing stress balls. 😆
He has a cell; i didn’t think about it until he was home 🙄
🤣🤗 oh Pam, that sounds like something only I would do. Duhhhh. 😊
I was looking for my white turtle neck and I just found it, right in front of my eyes🙄 only have been looking for it like a week😂
They say you usually find something the first place you looked, even if it’s a week later. 😂
Happy Thanksgiving Julie to you and your family!
Thanks Ardyth, So you guy’s will be home? anyone coming over?
It will just be Rick and I…..We got a 13 pound turkey and Rick will make all the sides and i will make cranberries.
Sounds good Ardyth😋you just reminded me to pack the two bottles of wine I have
..
I would of forgotten😯
I’m tired from raking but cleaning anyway…my sister is coming and I didn’t know. I’m going to watch the Raymond reunion tonight at 7,
Me to Lynn I’m watching🤓
Did you get a lot of leaves raked into piles?
well, yes and then put them into the ravine.
Sitting for just a bit after taking Jade, need a break from pulling the wagon, then I’m going to start packing
Hey Julie, i know you’re looking forward to seeing Mom/Dad; you’ll be missed here with your BellaFamily
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃
Safe Travels
Oh Pam thanks sweetie😍 it should be smooth sailing but lots of traffic, weather should be ok
It is almost 1:00 and I am done for the day. Like I said Rick bought oven cleaner and cleaned the oven which always makes a mess ….I took everything out in the drawer below and washed things and pulled the oven out when he was done and washed behind it. I did some cleaning to make tomorrow a little easier on my and did lots of laundry ( clothes, blankets, etc.) Rick gave a friend all the cannabis leaves and he made cannabutter so he gave Rick some today. It will be interesting to use in baked goods or… Read more »
So is the butter like a herb butter with a kick? A week or two ago I did a little research comparing alcohol with marijuana. Hands down the “health” benefit goes to marijuana if you don’t smoke it. I found very little bad really. And of course it needs to be pure, not laced with other things that are more harmful. Growing it or buying it legally should take care of that. I really expected to find a lot more negatives. It even said car accidents were more rare with it than alcohol because drivers tended to be aware of… Read more »
But if you drive and get picked up your DWI and in trouble the same as drinking alcohol. They used to spray Paraquat on pot fields in the 80’s it was a herbicide defoliant, and if you got pot that was sprayed with it it could make you sick. They sprayed to make people stop using pot, they poisoned people. That was the only additive I was worried about in the 80’s-localy grown Marijuana is safe,cultivated safely
I saw that it’s on tonight but I dont know if i will care about that much….. I can record it and see later.
I pull the stove out at least a couple times a year or so.
I pull out the fridge and the stove, the stove isn’t that bad underneeth the fridge is right by the back door-it gets leaves and grass under it
I dint do the fridge or the washing machine, too heavy
when we got our new fridge I went with Bruce to pick it out I got one on wheels😍
Hi Debbie. Yep, MJ is the way to go. Such a good herb that has for some reason gotten such a bad name. Don’t see too many MJ-holics out there wrecking families and ruining their lives, or getting the many illnesses caused from smoking cigarettes.
🎶 Grass, Grass, the magical weed 🎶
That was what some of what I read said.
Oh yummy, that stuff can mess you up if the cannabis is strong, I have had it in brownies and cookies, only thing is it can make you get the munchies so then you want more and more will not let you feel your legs😜
We will go easy on it. Never had it before.
guess i’d be afraid to try it
I will be at home so it will be OK
Enjoy, Ardyth!
well you want to experience it, like use it just do small portions, I always cut gummy’s in half to see how it effects me, you can always eat more but you can’t take it away
If you jad the same gummy every time you wouldn’t need to do that.
I would only get it in a store where I’m sure there are guidelines to help a novice and also people to help. You would learn exactly what you are getting. It would be like this bottle is 60 proof, this bottle is 90, this white stuff is pure grain. Big difference in those bottle, pour accordingly.
