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.

This Dell laptop is on its last legs; dang it 😟 I went back tot he old ASUS/Windows 10 earlier today; but that’s really not a good option. I’ll be working on updating the HP, which also doesn’t make me very happy — Oh UGH!
, getting that scooter is an excellent idea, your world will re-open to activities you thought were closed. 🤗

Thanks Ardyth, i do have 3 🙄 I was scammed while using the HP about 4 yrs ago and have been afraid to use it. And that’s when i got the Dell. i wanted a new ASUS, but they’re pretty pricey.

😁. A lot cheaper than a new one or a real hardware repair I would think.

Oh Pam I’m sorry about the Dell. Is it actually your newest laptop? So basically you have 3 computers, none of which either work or you like. Sounds like you need a brand new one. Like right! $$$$. Thanks for the support with the mobility scooter. I hope there is one I can load/unload by myself. I want to be independent when I want to be! Some of them fold, come apart. The one in the photo does, but it’s heaviest part is 47 pounds, I know I can’t lift that as dead weight or carry. It comes apart in… Read more »

Eeks, 47 lbs does sound like a lot to lift; what about a power lifter for the back of your vehicle? I’ve rented scooters all over, Disney parks, zoos, botanic gardens, etc. and i think you can get fairly large baskets

A power lifter would make it hard to load/unload the trunk. If I was totally dependent on a scooter then I would. I’m hoping that doesn’t happen.

I am going to copy/paste something a wrote earlier to a friend and I want to tell all of you too. I didn’t see any reason to retype it. I am thinking of buying a mobility scooter. There are certain things in life I don’t do that I used to do every year. Here is an example of something I did every year for probably 35 years, now maybe only once in the last 10 years. It was hard then but I am healthier now. But I am afraid of being in crowds and loosing my balance, maybe being bumped… Read more »

I appreciate that Deb. And I’m serious about using it only for things I’d not do at all without it. I don’t want to be dependent, or made weaker because of it. I’ve already done this with my walker. I try to just use my cane when ever possible.

No justification to use one, it won’t make you weak it just will help you get around safely😘 and you have a reason what you can use it for honey, you don’t want to fall and that’s a very big reason

Hi Debbie! What did your friend say that you wrote this email to? Does she have one of these to get around? I think it’s a great idea and I remember you telling us about this celebration and how you can’t go anymore So I think it’s a great idea to get one so you can get out and do things. A life is short Get it and get out and and enjoy life

KyDebbie

No my friend doesn’t have mobility issues. Thanks Ardy. I think I’m going Tuesday to a store. I might not buy one het. May want to look around more. I like to talk to different people. Everywhere you go you get another idea or opinion. Then I put all those ideas together and decide what is best for me. My top priority is being able to load it myself. If I can’t load it myself, I won’t buy one.

Sometimes it gets to long, I would rather have less tennis a day. But it is how tennis works. They have the tournaments that last 2 weeks and on for hours. Most months out of the year I see no tennis. I used to have the tennis channel but it doesn’t come automatically with YouTube TV. I may decide to pay for it extra, then I could watch more tennis in shorter doses. I do fast forward through a whole lot. This morning I didn’t watch a lot of tennis really. I watched CBS Sunday Morning, so,e of Face the… Read more »

I hardly have the tv on at all in the summer..well, I leave it on when I know there is a Cubs game but just catch minutes of it here and there, don’t like to sit still…the only show I watch is AGT when it’s on, at night…I just like to be outside, on my porch, or doing something I guess, like my chores or little projects, walking the dogs, working with them, etc
