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.

Your meal sounds great. I had pancakes and some little sausages i keep in the freezer. I could only eat 2 of each. Not very hungry. There is nothing going on here. I will have to make some excitement. 😝

It has to. I never got 53,000 in interest in 2024. And they can’t prove it.

Reply to  Karen Marie

They think you got that much just in interest? That would be a big account unless it was really dividends.

I know, I can’t figure out what happened. I’m sure they won’t tell me the details. But I know they will figure out that they messed up somewhere.

Thanks debbie. Well I know you know what a hassle these things are. And I don’t know why. I would really like to see things go nicely for about a year or so. It’s been a rough few years, and I’m ready to rest for a while. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not griping, I just need to rest for a bit and then start again. Actually, we all need to rest for a while.

I know Karen. You have been through so much. I still think even about your dogs you had to give up. And now you have such a long list of health concerns. Shoulders, bone necrosis, RA, Falling asleep. I hope all these medical issues can be solved, or at least treated.

Thank you. I’m thinking I can get some of these things fixed. I can’t believe some of it sometimes, but then I think about those that have it worse, who can’t walk or see or hear or other things. And I think it’s not that bad after all. I can manage it. I am glad you have already come to the point where you feel much better. It took a long time though, and I know you had your rough spots too. But now, look at you, feeling good and moving along. I am really so happy for you.

Thank you, Debbie. I am ready for bed. I’m changing my schedule somewhat. I’m too old to be up late any more. Dutchess is doing about the same. I think my husband might be sneaking her food. I’m about to find out. Anyway, she’s doing okay and I’m doing okay and I hope you sleep good tonight. Thanks for staying up with me when you can. I will talk to you tmrw. Blessings to you too, honey. 😘

I think they run day and night. I don’t know if the race is called at a certain time or if they wait until all runners are in.

See, that looks like an aerial camera, that is why I thought maybe they are using a drone. And the camera was not stationary, it was moving with the runner, but high like that.
