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.

Good morning Bella Buds and a good Sunday to you. I’ll be watching a lot of tennis the next couple weeks, it is the French Open. This first week I will do a lot of skimming through matches, stopping when it is a favorite player or a match appears very competitive. There is 12 hours of tape a day so obviously no one can watch it all. I know there is one Memorial Day musical special on tonight I think 8 my time. But I forgot name/channel. I set it to tape so if I can find it I’ll tell… Read more »

Good morning Sunshine. I just called you to help you find your phone, then read further as it was ringing that you found it.
Does the cayenne pepper deter all the varmints that might get in your garden? I know it wouldn’t deter Casey, he can eat hot red pepper. The capsaicin doesn’t affect them. You will be so proud of your garden and enjoy the really fresh produce.
I hope you get the water turned on. I don’t know how you have done without it this long.

It may cause pain, but probably just once, they will learn. You have to eat too.

Not yet, I might need to bring the ladder down in the basement to be able to reach the knob, I just am finishing my coffee talked to my Mom for over a hour, my Dad is still adjusting to the new medication, they said it could take a month before it really starts working for him, if its going to. She feels like he won’t make it home again and that’s hard to hear, I’m just processing our conversation

They are very smart. And they love their families. Just a couple of things. I was taught as a kid that they were monsters who ate people. 😒

Oh no, they are gentle for the most part. I admired Diane Fossey so much, but wish she had taken a different approach with the people there with the gorillas.
