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.

After Landon’s teachers nominated him to the National Honor Society, he had to write an essay on why he should be accepted. Sis just called to let me know he was accepted & is now a member in good standing   💘

It must be different now. Back when I was in school we could join the honor society I think our freshman year, and it was based only on grade point average. They just checked the gpa to be sure you qualified. I don’t remember if they kept checking it after that.

I was up really late last night, so i slept in until noon!! I was so tired. Then I got up and just tried to function monst of the day. Can’t do that stuff any more. 🫣 I hope to go to bed early tonight.

I did read about your terrible night. 😪 I am so sorry. You are on some strong meds. I think sometimes they counteract or something, and cause problems. But they are good at what they do. I can imagine Nikki jumping on you guys. 😅 Dutchess “snugggles real hard.” 😀

Hi Miss Nite Owl. You got home late I imagine, which means you need time to wind down to sleep.

Hi Debbie. I got home at 11:05 PM. I was not happy, after waiting so long to go, earlier in the day. And then when we got home, I still had to eat supper. So bedtime was 1:15 am. Got to sleep about 2am, so I only slept 10 hours. That’s not too bad. I usually like to get eight to nine hours.

Do you like going out that late at night? I couldn’t sleep 10 hours. I average probably 7 hours.

Maybe so. I lose track, because it’s not my fault. But not as late as last night. Eating supper that late isn’t good for me. I have to work on getting a good schedule together.

Husband. He wants us to still be footloose and fancy free. But he doesn’t realize that he can’t keep up with it either. He’s still up at 4:30 sometimes. Fine, he can do that, but keep it quiet. Dutchess is a dream. Adapts to everything her Mommie wants. 🙃

If you don’t want to go out at night just tell him you don’t want to go out and maybe tomorrow we can get an earlier start.

We go back and forth on it. Just one of those things. Sometimes I want to go early, sometimes he doesn’t. If i get my legs working better, I’ll go when I want.

Beautiful day, a sunny 77; so nice having windows/doors open. Got my hair refreshed for the graduation next week; it was very faded & way too much gray showing — UGH
Watched a couple Stephen Colbert’s, the Pres Obama interview and the one with Sally Field/Chris Stapleton. 💗  Chris thanked Stephen and his staff for their support and kindness over the years; always making sure the guests were well-cared for  💖  
His wife, Evvie, looked stunning to do the Mother’s Day cards 👗

We’ll stay with them; they’re always so horrified by our suggestion of getting hotel rooms. They’re great 40-yr old kids.  💖  I get about 2-4 hours of sleep, but i can sleep when i get home on Saturday  😴
