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 don’t think I ever get them even though I signed up. If one of you do the @ thing with my name I bet those.

Back from plant shopping, what a wirl wind.🙄 Bruce likes short cuts we never found the green house, even GPS didn’t work. But going through a town in a grocery store parking lot there was a stand with green houses set up and it was done by the green house we were going too. I told Bruce to pull over and stop at the one in the parking lot. They had everything we needed. I was tired driving around looking at street names trying to figure out how to get to where we were going. It really was fun though… Read more »

Hi Julie. You must have intended on going to a place you’d never been before, but at least it sounds like you found a good one anyway. Oh good grief! No wonderI won’t be caught dead in a dress. Literally. Glad you got some good protein. The only liver I will eat is fried chicken livers. I’m glad you enjoyed the trip.

I was shocked-I did tell him instead of doing the short cut that’s in his mind lets just go the way you know, not going the old way takes much longer and we don’t get there😂

Hello. I walked this morning, cleaned a room, washed a few loads of laundry. I talked to John for over and hour about my cell billing dates.
I have read most everything below and didnt leave comments.
I will comment to about the movie. I am glad to hear you loved it as much as I did!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick bought a tarp to put up on the empty space in the carport to protect the right side of my KIA so it doesnt fade.

Do you have a Camping World in Tucson. They would probably have screens meant to hang on awnings to shield the sun. See through but still blocks out a lot of sun. Or something like the screen that creates the jailbird effect for our hummingbirds.

Who cares what it looks like? its serving a purpose. That’s normal weather damage coverage here mostly on roofs and over cars- everybody uses them. They come in different colors too, camouflage seems to be the most popular

Very happy the chat’s back; yesterday was very weird  🤓  Supposed to get to 82 before dropping to a high of 45 tomo. Quiet morning here; cleaned the kitchen, showered; Rick’s still asleep & Chuck headed to Pueblo  🚗  Watched Tracker then the opening game of Hockey’s 2nd round  🏒  Avalanche beat Minnesota Wild, 14-9, in a crazy game, 15 goals, 14 of which were scored by a different player — so much fun!  🤗  When the inside arena is full, Denver has an outside area blocked off in the parking lot with a big screen TV; it was overflowing… Read more »

Hi Pam, funny toon! Wow your weather. What a swing. That was a very high scoring hockey game, I guess I don’t know the scoring. I thought a score of 14-9 would mean 23 goals, so I guess there is a way to get a score other than a goal id]f there were only 15 goals. Shows how much I know about hockey. But sounds like a high scoring game which I think are always more fun to watch in most sports. Except golf!

Not an idiot but I was really thinking there might be another way to score! I didn’t really think so because I have watched a little bit of hockey, but wasn’t sure.

There were several in the 2-5 age category but they spent most of the day upstairs in the playroom. Lots of toys up there. I don’t have any photos from up there. I should check FB to see if other family took pictures up there.
