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.

Burger will do I haven’t eaten today, I haven’t felt hungry lately but it turns out that’s good with the yard work and minimal eating I have lost some weight 6 pounds, I have been trying and cut out sweets that’s a big factor, I was eating to many and needed to cut it out

Hey everyone. Thank you so much for all of your well wishes and concern. 🌹 I’m doing better. This is the third or fourth time I have had an asthma exacerbation since my pneumonia in 2008. The exacerbations are caused by pollens, we think, as they happen in springtime or early summer. Anyway, in my case the activity is going on before I even know it, for about 3 days. My muscles in my lungs are working hard to make me breathe and I don’t know it until 3 or 4 days later when all of a sudden I can’t… Read more »

First of all you are not a downer, you merely shared with your friends what is going on with you. Good grief I talk all the time about my stuff. You have reason to talk about your situation, it is quite a lot to go thru. What you describe as “most people” sounds like a rather superficial person.

KyDebbie
May 14, 2026 7:32 pm

Yes I pile it in there. At least two meals there for $9.55! They never look, just tell them the blue plate special. It limits your meal to one piece of most meats and 2 sides. They don’t seem to worry much about big helpings of the sides. In case of my ribs cut in small pieces, or spaghetti and meatballs, they really can’t say one piece.

Just got back from a walk, the roof guy was here but couldn’t get up on the roof its to dangerous, there’s like 5 layers of shingles up there and they could slide and come off, so the guy said he would talk to Bruce about it and I told him I had some hail from the storm so I got the biggest one out of the freezer and showed him, he got a tape measure out and took pictures to show people😃 going to put something cooler on and go mess around in the garden for a bit, Ardyth… Read more »
