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.

Hello. Wishing you all a good day. 🤗 I must have had the flu or something coming on yesterday afternoon, because i am sick as a dog today. Been having waves of nausea so bad that I feel like I might pass out. I’m pretty sure I won’t, but it sure feels that way.

Thank you, Debbie. I do have some, thank God. Now I just feel really weak off and on. We don’t know what causes it. Sometimes flu coming on, sometimes stress, sometimes ????

I doubt it is flu this time of year, but your doctor should be able to test. You can always buy a test kit yourself but they are a bit pricey.

Debbie, I was just trying to catch up with posts from yesterday. I am so sorry to hear about Nancy’s eye situation. I’m sure she is so scared and worried. I would be too. It’s so good that you can be there for her through this. I think something like that would bring on a lonely feeling. I know you will help her. Thinking about and praying for Nancy 🙏 – and you too. 😘

A sewer roach walked down our hall yesterday and Rick said he killed another one in the hall bathroom!!!!!!!!! Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Going to go see Joe Jackson tonight, meeting our friends at the Monica for supper before. We won’t be sitting next to each other because neither of us knew that we were going to the concert.
