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.

FOR FACEBOOK USERS. I seem to seldom see some of my friends on Facebook unless I specifically go to their site. So I googled to see if I found anything to help. I found this interesting.

Hi, Debbie. 😍 I have had so much trouble trying to use this Facebook thing since the very beginning. 🤔 I get on the site and I see all the options, but I can’t figure out what to do with them all. I’ve tried several times. But I will try this new thing that you gave us and see if it helps. Thanks for posting it. 🥰

I have trouble with Facebook all the time. I have trouble with my iPad too, the new format seems to make everything harder.

Ah, remember the simple days. One phone that doesn’t follow you around everywhere. It’s hard to remember living that way. There’s just too many programs and devices out there now, I can’t keep up. Maybe I would do better if I had solid training all of it.

As soon as you were trained they would change it. I think companies that do technology at minimum should advertise an online web site to better explain changes and how to do them. It would be easy for them. Some changes we don’t even know exist enough to know how to ask about them.

I agree with everything you said. And the updates get really confusing, because I didn’t understand it in the beginning. Like you said they don’t announce and explain their updates. And it’s true, I don’t even know how to begin to ask some questions. I feel like a real dummy, sometimes I just sit and look at the screen and wonder how I’m supposed to figure it all out. I think we all have to hire personal trainers. I personally think they are trying to do too much with these devices, we don’t need to forget how to do everything,… Read more »

Good morning! I have commented on a few posts but I did not say good morning. I did go for a walk. Then I did my regular chores like feeding the birds, vacuuming etc. Then I colored my hair and I just got done showering. Rick is at the grocery store since he didn’t feel like going on Wednesday. We had a good time at lunch yesterday with Tom and Serena. It was his first time going out other than doctor appointments since he fell off the roof 3 months ago. I will post a couple pictures and there are… Read more »

Your food always looks good. What is the difference in the two drinks. Both salt rimmed, contents look the same, but different glasses.

Price, the tiny one is 75 cents. Minimum of two of those. I had one.

KyDebbie

It looks like 2 of the little ones would fill the big one, so that would just be $1.r0. If it took three it would still be just $2.25. That would be a bargain!

And I bet you like frozen best. I understand that. I used to get mine on the rocks so the small ones would probably be better for me.

Good morning Ardy. That is a terrific picture of you and Rick! In that photo you look great! I’m glad you had a good time. I hope you are successful loosing what weight you want to loose. Nancy I think is in a similar financial/insurance situation as you. She gets the shots for $50 a month through her doctor’s office.

Well you know that isnt going to happen for me. She doesnt do injections of any kind, my last Dr would give me injections in my knee if needed.

I only look good because you cant see the rest of me

There are a lot of clinics now that do this. I know you like Julie. It was cardiology that first helped me, then my family doctor happily obliged. Even though my gastro is the kind of doctor who deals with the problems from side affects, he still told me weight caused a lot of things way worse.

I am going to tell Julie I am thinking seriously about this.
I am not going to switch Drs as I am comfortable with her

Sounds good to me on both counts. I would be curious as to her reasoning about the shots and other medicine she prefers.

May 16, 2026 2:18 pm

Cardio was sending me to one of the clinics sponsored by a major hospital. The clinic knew how to give the right diagnosis to get insurance to approve paying for it. Then I was to go to the clinic once a month. The problem was it was 60 miles away! So I asked my family doc if she could prescribe it and told her I was already approved by insurance for a year. So she prescribed for a year, then had to resubmit a diagnosis for the insurance. Apparently the diagnosis wasn’t the right one so there was a bit… Read more »

That sounds interesting. I figured you might be able to give me some advice. Now. Joanne’s doctor wrote out a prescription for her. I don’t know what she wrote down but Medicare rejected her so she went online and the cheapest she is found is $299 a month which I really don’t want to pay that much. I do have high blood pressure and and anxiety as Julie puts it. So I don’t know if there’s any clinics around here. I’ve not seen anything advertised

Good morning Bella Buds and happy Saturday to you. I think we will get rain today, we really need it. They are saying it is beginning to affect farmers. The adjoining county is asking people to conserve water.
Julie I hope you have a blast today, and tell us all about it. Have fun. I hope Pam is having a good time. Safe travels home!

We just don’t have much reason to, we have an abundance of water. Water doesn’t just go away, it eventually finds its way back to nature.

It does go away in the desert where we live

KyDebbie
May 16, 2026 12:12 pm

It goes away here to without rain, but it doesn’t go away permanently. It is hard to explain. Maybe it moves through evaporation and moves on to another area, so you enter drought. But it is somewhere in the environment, maybe in another state where there is widespread flooding. So you need to conserve temporarily when your area doesn’t have the water. That would very seldom happen here because we have a very large impounded lake. It would be different if we had a pipeline to transport some our water to areas that have chronic drought. Then we would need… Read more »

It is she kept walking across highways and almost got hit a couple of times so they really had to capture her or she would be killed, she hung out at a couples house who fed her raw chicken gained he trust and trappers were able to walk up to her and grab her-safe capture no harm or stress for the bird😍
