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.

, have you tried using a stylus on your phone? Don’t know if it would be less painful for you; Lian used 1 because of the neuropathy in her hands. I use one sometimes too.

Good mornin’ Ardyth! 😘 I bet moving does make it worse.. Maybe get a lightweight brace to cut down on moving those fingers too much. I have one for RA and it works well for that purpose. Just thinkin’.

What about the microphone? I am trying to remember if NP gave you anything for it, I don’t think so? Said either pop it or see a surgeon I think.

When I’m sitting around with Rick, I don’t like to use the microphone because it interferes with him listening to TV and I don’t like to be rude

Monday but I have my doubts that he’ll do anything cuz I have a good bones that are underneath they can’t just be popped. I’ll probably have to see a specialist and that won’t be until I get back from vacation

I never thought it could be popped, just thought he might know a name or cause.

I know the name and cause……I worked for Supercuts for 32 years and we sprayed the hair with a water bottle if they didnt want shampoo which 99% of the people didnt want to pay extra. So You had the water bottle in your left hand spraying as you combed with your right hand. That is the cause…repetitive motion and its called Heberden nodules. Physical Appearance: They cause the finger joint to look round, swollen, and knobby. They can also cause the finger to bend sideways. Pain Level: They can be painful and inflamed while developing, but once fully formed,… Read more »

and the finger tips have the most nerves, can you soak your hand in warm water? I found out from all the repetitive chopping I used to do at work my fingers would ache. Doing dishes in hot water seemed to make my hands relax and feel better. I think for me it was or me the warm water that made it feels better

Good morning Ardy. Yes repetitive motion sure can cause things. Jo got Carpal tunnel from taking blood pressures. I hope the pain does eventually go away. In the meantime I hope the cream helps the pain. I know it is hard to treat it what with the location and hand washing. At least try the gauze and some tape at bedtime with the medicine. Maybe it will help reduce the swelling and inflammation, therefore the pain. Then take it off in the morning.

Yes it is osteoarthritis and very painful.
My thumb hurts too, related to broken wrist

It looks like some arthrosis, called heberden.
Cold packs can help, some people like warmth on it. I am sorry for the pain, also the poor thumb.
The inflammation and pain of the heberden will probably go away again, but the nodes will probably stay, if it is heberden. Have you seen a doc ?
