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.

Y’all, I’m not feeling great, and am depressed about losing 2 eaglets today. I’m going to bed. Hope everyone has a good and restful night. 🥰

Avion Bird Flu killed the Eaglets I just saw a news report, it wasn’t lead, they ate infected Canadian Geese, because the Geese migrate they spread the Flu along with other birds

Ok, still so sad. At least we didn’t cause it. 🙏 thank you, Julie.

The eaglets likely passed from Avian Influenza. Their symptoms and the progression of the illness is consistent with Avian Influenza, and they could have contracted it from ingesting goslings and geese that had been brought to the nest as food. We cannot know for certain without testing, but this is the most likely cause based on the evidence.  The eaglets likely passed from Avian Influenza.

  • Now that the two eaglets have passed, PGC has had extensive discussions about the risks vs benefits of accessing the nest to retrieve the now two deceased eaglets. They have decided not to pursue retrieval, in part to not stress the adult eagles through human presence at the nest.
  • There is no practical benefit to confirming that the eaglets succumbed to Avian Influenza, beyond the human desire to know. The disease is known to be endemic in Pennsylvania now and there are no management actions that would be taken with that information.

I love grilled shrimp. I can just imagine how much better that salsa is than store stuff. Pico de gallo would be too.

Yes I did. I told her I think I got some better after being on the new medicine about 2 months. She said it takes that long to notice improvement, and that I may see more improvement. Finally. In August I will have been going to Rheumatoid 2 years.

I changed the soil out of each pot theres 5 large pots I had to scoop out the dirt its a long process but its done. Jade was out with me and I took her for a walk- she walked great and a little girl and her Gandma came across the street to see Jade, she walked right up to them for pets, its almost like I have her trained-I think that’s really funny😂

That was a lot of work! How do you decide what to plant in pots and what to plant directly in the ground? I know you do both. That is just so cute about Jade! Jade probably knew that little girl thought she was so cute and precious and excited to see her. Jade is a funny little thing.

Because of the sun light I always plant tomatoes in the pots-they grow really well in pots for me, frees up space in my garden which is a small space

I think sometimes pets are drawn to little kids who are good kids and are enamored with the pet, making over the pet.
