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.
Proof that a hen will raise chicks from an egg she didn’t produce.
Forgot the picture!
what is it?
Hen and her foster chicks, she was broody so they got her some fertil eggs to sit on and hatch. And it worked the eggs did hatch😍
😅
It is niece Shonda’s chickens.
I see that it’s chickens but I don’t know what the chicken is raising that wasn’t hers ?
😃
Fertile eggs that came from the Amish. She brooded them and they hatched. Her own eggs were infertile because Shonda does not have a roster! She kept sitting the eggs, wouldn’t hardly get off them to eat. So Shonda went to the Amish and got the fertile eggs.
Happy hen she has 4 chicks😍Thanks for the follow up on the eggs and foster Mom😘
Good Morning Bellas, I’m up got a few more branches out front and just in time the City came and picked it all up. So glad I got as much as I could out to the street and that was many trips. Sitting having coffee Jade just brought me one of her balls a soft foam one she brought me a present for feeding her😂 Going to do some garden prep today, turn soil over add the blood meal to it,blood meal adds nitrogen to the soil-I don’t use other fertilizers just organic(blood meal) Roof guys are coming today at… Read more »
Good morning Sunshine. That is the second time you barely got things to the street and the city came just then! The first time the guy helped you drag a big limb. Luck. I know you will enjoy being outside and playing in the dirt. I take it you don’t want to plant starter plants, because seeds won’t make it above the soil line by Sunday? Have a fun day.
Set out date was the 10th but knew from like the last time that they show up 3-4 days after set out date. No I won’t plant the plants because of the large hail warning for Sunday, the hail would beat them to a pulp. I will just get every thing ready to plant-planting is actually a fast thing to do. That I can still move them to the garage will keep them safe from damage
have fun being a busy bee! 😀
Good morning Bella Buds. Sunny but on 57 now. It will get up to the mid 60’s, but this is the coldest day for the next 10 days. Tomorrow mid 70’s, then expect highs in the 80’s. I will love that! You already know my plans for today. I was the last to post last night, the first today. Y’all have the best day possible.
Good morning Debbie😘you will have fun going to Columbia. Is the Mom and Pop place the one you used to go too? safe travels
It is one of them, it is in Columbia. They have a buffet. But they have an early bird special where you can get a meat, two sides and bread for I think $7.99 if you get it before 4 pm. That is what we do.
They food will be so good😋what will Debbie get? Ham, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn bread. Lets see if I picked it right?
Here Is their buffet today: On the hot bar today, Thursday, May 14, 2026
Tenderloin, BBQ Ribs, Chicken Tenders, Spaghetti with Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Corn, Mac and Cheese, Pinto Beans, Fried Potatoes, Baked Beans, Island Blend Veggies, Corn Nuggets, Garlic Bread, Hush Puppies, Rolls, Cornbread
Come In, Grab A Plate, and Enjoy!
I’ll get the ribs, green beans. If they have slaw on the cold part I’ll get that. Otherwise I’ll get two helping of green beans. I could get the Island Veggies if they look good. That is a California blend.
I would get the ribs too, but with baked beans and cole slaw if they have it 😋
Sounds like a winner. I would get the baked beans too but I’m watching carbs still, and calories.
I will be adding a few more carbs soon.
Good night my buddy pals. I will be gone tomorrow afternoon. First I vote. Then we are going to to Columbia to take stuff to Goodwill, Walmart, and get take out at a Mom and Pop place. We have to get the takeout before 4 to get the early bird special, so I know I’ll be home by 4:30. Could be earlier.
Hope everyone is having a good sleep and sweet dreams. Love to all and see you in the morning.
Goodnight gals, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m just up for a few. Feeling better. Now – more rest. Can’t wait to wake up in the a.m. and feel like moving again. Sleep good. Hope all is well. Haven’t read posts. Only awake long enough to eat today. 🙃 Better tmrw. 😍😘
Hi Karen. Thank you for checking in, even if just briefly. I will worry less about you. I’ m glad you are making progress toward feeling better, eating, and resting. That is what you need. Hope you feel more like yourself tomorrow. So good nite, eat something, and try to sleep. Love.
I have to eat so I need to sign off have a wonderful night😘
Good night sweetheart. Sleep good.
While I was outside taking a break on my back steps I called my dear friend Debbie and while I was on the phone with her I had a humming bird show up at my feeder😍Debbie brought me a humming bird. A sweet little female Ruby Throat humming bird
😁🥰. Maybe babies. 😂.
Maybe? who knows, she’s so fast. I will have to follow her and see if I can find a nest
Good luck with that!
Right I saw the direction she flew off too so maybe?
If anyone can, you can.
