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.

I’ve been on the phone with Nancy then took a shower. For several months Nancy has been part of a study for macular degeneration. She has/had the dry type. Yesterday morning Nancy’s eye felt strange and she couldn’t see out of it. The Retina specialist said she had gone from dry to wet MD. That is what happened. So he put a shot in her eye meant for the wet. He did tell her they are making a lot of new progress in wet MD. Nancy is on the lowest dose of Wegovy, her doctor won’t give her a higher… Read more »

hard to explain wet……………Medical intervention is essential; treated with eye injections (Anti-VEGF) or laser therapy to stop fluid leakage.

So your eyes just keep tearing?

The first signs of wet macular degeneration (AMD) typically include the sudden onset of distorted vision (straight lines appearing wavy or bent), blurred central vision, and the appearance of small dark spots or a new blind spot in the center of your visual field

Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD) is a serious eye condition characterized by rapid, abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye that leaks fluid and blood. While there is no cure, the prognosis is generally positive with early, consistent treatment: most patients can successfully stabilize their vision and some may even see improvements.

Yes, there is a dry form and a wet form of AMD. The wet means blood vessels are leaking or burst and is worse than dry.
