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. Pretty morning we will get to high 70’s. I’ve got things swirling in my mind I can do today. I know I need to cook something for us, maybe Casey. I’m continuing with cleaning/ throwing out/donating things. And I’m working on getting my RMD for my retirement funds started as required by IRS. That is like 401K, etc that are retirement investments that I’m required this year to begin withdraws. I have to deal with two companies. Speaking of cleaning out. I told Jo since we are hiring someone to cut the grass, she should commit… Read more »

I have been reading about the RMD thing since you have been talking about it and it’s a good thing they have a chart to help figure out what to take out and they say the amount changes every year bc one factor is your life expectancy (if I’m understanding it)

I have a CPA do my taxes even tho they are simple. I just don’t want to fool with it. I just asked her what to do about the IRS. I haven’t done the part yet about how much money they will send me. I think I just fill out the form, set the parameters, they do the calculation. I imagine it is all set where I can request the minimal money I have to take out to satisfy the government, but I can choose to take out more, but I won’t. I want my money to last as long… Read more »

I see this morning Macy’s check was returned for insufficient funds….what a nightmare!!! I wonder how many more i will get??

Good morning Ardy. So you had outstanding checks that didn’t have time to clear the old checking account. You can figure out which checks are outstanding and contact the companies. You don’t want to give them time to report a bounced check to the credit bureaus. I doubt if you have many of these because it will be a very short time frame.

Look in your check register and look at what checks you wrote soon before this mess happened that may not have cleared the bank before the money was stolen. If you do online banking you can see which checks cleared and were debited. If you don’t have online banking you can call the bank and they can tell you which checks cleared and which checks didn’t.

So far that is the only one that came up

KyDebbie
April 22, 2026 10:14 am

More than likely it is the only one that was outstanding. You probably don’t write a lot of checks. I only actually write on average 2 checks a month, but have a few things that are paid automatically out of my checking account that would bounce too.

It’s just because your new account isn’t working yet-just call Macy’s and let them know what happened, it’s not your fault, they just need to know what happened,Give them the new info- its a Hassel but it will be ok😘

Thank you Debbie. I’m sorry, I was flipping around through the Taylor interviews and then D demanded more food, and I’m late getting back to you. 🫠 I’m sorry I missed you. You sleep good tonight and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. I will be on my way in 5 minutes.😘🤗💙🩵

He does have quite a way about him. I think a lot of it is that he shows respect and kindness to everyone. He makes people want to follow him.

Ellen DeGeneres talk show, she started out dancing on the show and I think eventually she stopped doing that.

We watched all the Ellen shows so I’m sure I saw her. I just don’t pay a lot of attention to celebrities. I have to first admire a person in another way. Like if I already knew her from her music, I’d pay more attention.
