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.

Things may be better over time. There was a period of time I never saw Nancy or her kids. We reconnected when I got my computer in 1995, now look at us. There never was any problem between us, it was just we were busy in our separate lives.

When I was pushing my cart to my car some guy was taking a short cut through the lot and so I stopped so he wouldnt hit me , but he stopped so I thought I could continue to walk to my car 5 feet away and then he honked at me!!!!!!!!!!

There you are finally! You may need a scooter at that Walmart, at least until you learn the store better. What a jerk. 🤬🤬💩💩👊. Doesn’t he know you are supposed to let pedestrians go? I can’t believe the idiot blew his horn at you. Reminds me of a scene in Fried Green Tomatoes. Kathy Bates character was pulling into a parking space in a crowded lot. A little car with two young pretty things comes roaring up from the opposite direction and whips into the space. Kathy blows her horn and the girl said something ugly to her, like they… Read more »

Beeping the horn doesn’t make you a jerk-it lets people know your there. You can beep your horn by accident too, my Mom does that alot its where the horn is on her stearing wheel she puts her hand on the spot and beep beep

That guy beeped his horn not as a warning but because he is a jerk. Ardy stopped because she thought he would hit her, then she proceeded to go on. That is when he blew. He knew she saw him, he was mad because she didn’t motion for him to go. Drivers are supposed to yield to pedestrians. I bet she was in a stripped area.

lol Lynn I thought this was funny. My cousin that lived in MN has a daughter in Southern Iowa and she told her mom she couldnt live in MN again because it was so cold. I doubt Southern IA is that much warmer but it must be enough to notice.
Now Sue lives in IA too.
