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 night sweet Bella’s, love to you all and sleep well.
You sleep good too, sweet Debbie. 😍😘🤗
Good evening. I saw y’all were having a good conversation about rabbits and wrens, and didn-t want to butt in. I started watching, on TV, about the US Steel eagle cam, and how one of the 3 eaglets had been fed hook, line and and sinker in the nest, was removed for surgery a few days ago, and was returned to the nest today. I was waiting on the video to show when either of the parents returned and saw it, but haven’t found that part of the video. Still looking. Goodnight to all who have gone to bed. 😍😘… Read more »
You are in big trouble. Wet noodles for you. What do you mean you didn’t want to butt in. 😡 💩 🤬 🤭 🤣 . You are a bona fide member of this chat, therefore it is impossible to butt in. Good grief more fishing stuff swallowed. We just had Big Bears Jackie swallow a sinker. Hope she got it up. I’ll be going to bed soon.
You guys had such a nice rhythm going, I just couldn’t plow in. I did place “likes” here and there in the posts. I enjoyed the stories. Then I heard the eaglet story in the background, and . . . Sorry, I did kind of get involved there. And yes, more fishing stuff. Getting scary. Jackie seems fine, and this little eaglet had surgery, and was gone for about 3 days. Seems to be doing just great, was very good at taking food from the parent.
I saw your likes. I’m going to say good night and get ready for bed. Good night dear Karen. I hope you sleep well with peaceful thoughts and dreams. Love and hugs, and that includes precious Dutchess. See you tomorrow. I’ll be gone most of the afternoon, but will be around morning and evening.
Thank you, Debbie. ❤️ so soothing. I saw that you and Jo are going to have work done on her vehicle tomorrow and Jo is going to have some tests. But not tomorrow. I will be thinking about you guys. And I’ll be waiting to hear from you when you get back. Thanks for not throwing too many noodles. I love you honey, take care of yourself. 😘🙏💕
I know you will be going to bed in a few minutes, so will I be. I got up early today and have been really busy. I will be back tomorrow, after I get the noodles off of me, that is. 🤣😍
😁
One of the parents finally arrived, probably after looking down at the nest for quite a while, flying overhead, wondering why they now had three eaglets instead of two. I think this is what was happening, as I saw two or three little beaks keep turning to the right, and then left, simultaneously, as if watching an air show. 🤣Evidently, the parent finally put it all together and landed. The parent then started feeding the two eaglets who it knew definitely belonged there, but had to watch for a few minutes to see if the third one did. Finally, the… Read more »
I saw the story about the eaglet-I think it will do just fine 😘 there is no butting in Karen Marie-you just blab when you want
I’m making some dinner, I’m having some soup I had frozen😋 plus I’m saying good night for now and see you in the morning😘
Enjoy your soup, if you cooked it is good! Good night Julie, sleep peacefully. Love.
Nite-nite!! 💙💙
Good night ladies!
Good night Ardy. Get good sleep. Love.
G’night Ardyth 😴
Sweet dreams Ardyth😘
Nighty-night. 🩷🩵
There was a little rabbit outside eating bird seed that had fallen to the ground. I don’t know if it would be classified as a baby or not, maybe even one from the nest the lawn service found.
If it was just from the nest it would be small, did they mow over the nest? If so they probably didn’t survive, the mower sucks them right up and destroys the nest. Maybe they were out of the nest already?
No they didn’t mow over the nest.
Oh that’s so good, I remember the guy mowing at my grade school he mowed over a nest, there were little rabbit bodies all over the ground, I was crying at the sight.😪 but I found one alive and I brought it home. We raised it and when it got bigger we let it go in our back yard. My Mom knew about taking care of the rabbit. She had rabbits when she was a child and knew at the time how to take care of it. and what to feed it, it still drank milk so we used condensed… Read more »
The beginning of that story was heartbreaking, but what a terrific end for one little baby.
sweet🐇🐰
Give it a name😍
I’ll call it Bugsy.
YAY!!! I like Bugsy🐰💖
He could be related to Bugs Bunny.
😂Could be Harvey the rabbit from the movie😂
I don’t remember if a saw that movie. I think I did.
Its with Jimmy Stewert, it’s one of my favorite movies at all times😍
Times gotten away from me today😲 seems like I just am getting started on something and its hours later than what I thought, tried to work in the garden and its just so wet. To really do the things I want. I heard a house Wren today, my favorite little singer😍They are a tiny bird about the size of a humming bird, was thinking when they show up usually I see a hummer😘
😘
I am a huge fan of the cactus wren.
I will have to look it up🤓
CACTUS WREN
Their nest
Buid the same sort of nest
Rick doesnt like their messy nests in the cactus…..lol
The thorns help hold it in place.
These are so cool 💗
I think so, Rick doesnt….lol
Oh poo on Rick 🤔
They have messy nests in the cactus
That’s why i like them, they look like my house 😂
It has a wren shaped body
Pretty little bird.
I love them
Wrens are the barracudas of the bird world-they are tough little buggers, they will take on a crow, peck at the crows feet till the crow moves on
🤣 I wonder why you popped in to my mind?
😂 my ears are ringing Hello, Hi Debbie😘
It’s so different than the wrens here, its very pretty, house wrens actually have a song they sing
Hi Julie time gets away from you because you love it outside!
I don’t know to come inside unless it starts getting dark
Well, you are retired! It is allowed. We do miss you tho.
I can’t sit at the computer all day.
I wouldn’t want to.
Me either things to do
Howdy do BellaFam 💖
Home safe from Pueblo; got all the pick-u orders actually picked up. Supposed to get to 65, Mother Nature sure is taking her time gettin’ there.
Ardyth’s BLTs looked so good the other night 😋 i got some bacon and talked Chuck into cooking it; there’s a year-round farmer’s market about 9miles from here, will be checking their tomatoes.
OMGosh, just checked email — IT’s WORKING — the site is back, I am so excited 🤗
Hi Pam. You got it all done. Congratulations. Oh, and even bigger hip hip hoorah for getting your email back. My embarrassing hair is NOW
Hi Debbie — my hair is embarrassing now too; it’s so thin compared to what it was for so many years 😔
Mine is to Pam. My hair was always thick.
Mine is thinner in the front and I hate it. My mom and Grandmas thinned as they aged.
When i was taking an HRT; it was like it was when i was 25; i miss that.
Hey Pam….glad your email is back up and working!!!! WooHoo!
We had our first garden tomatoes last night.
Lucky woman.
Oh yummm, nothing grown on earth is quite like a fresh picked tomato; it’s one of my very favorite things about living in farm country
Mine too. I hate store bought, they have no taste but looks so good.
Gramma & her sisters used to make piccalilli with fresh grown in Michigan; it was so different from store-bought. makes my mouth water to think about it 😋
Not familiar wth that
Hot dog Ardyth ripe garden tomatoes😋
Hi ya Pam😍great you can check your emails😘 you got your shopping done too😃the Purrm reminds me about what my Mom did once, well there was the perm crazy. everyone was getting their hair permed so my Mom did too and it turned out to be a tight curl, she actually had a afro,my Dad laughed so hard and said she looked like Mickey mouse with one ear😂sh wore a hat for weeks till it grew out.
🤣 Did your mom do the perm herself? A professional should have known better.
That’s a very funny story Julie — 😂
