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.

You got your outside time. Good. Glad your cacti are growing. The WI beagle rescue was on ABC News.

Prickly pear cactus. I used to have one until a couple of years ago. I cut the paddles up to make cactus casserole. Yum!! Of course after I get all the needles off. 😆 sounds like a nice walk, Julie. 🤗

For a second I thought a second hernia surgery! 😁 Oh no! Yes by all means, get another cactus. Maybe it will grow big, then you can eat part, let it grow some more, eat again, grow again. 😁

I keep hearing about this Crown Prince and that he has finally wised up. I just wanted to check him out. The trail of royalty, his wife, etc. His wife is totally private. No pictures really, anywhere. Interesting. 😁

I think he may be making some improvements for women. I think it is Saudi’s that treat women badly but the Prince is letting them go in public without a husband or family member. Drive.

Paddles are the broad flat leaves they have

You scrape the needles off of the long green pads, (the leaves), and cut the edges off, then chop them into half inch squares,and fry them up somewhat and then add whatever you want for your casserole, and bake it. The cooked paddles have a combination taste of jalapeno peppers and green beans, mixed. I add onions and cheese and a couple other things to mine. I haven’t cooked them in so long though, I have to look up the recipe. Really good for you.

The version i have only has about 10-15 needles per side, per paddle. Just scrape ’em off with a sharp knife. There are several varieties. 😋
