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 Bellas storms will hit this afternoon, up north is getting nailed right now-looks nasty on radar. I will have a chance to move pots and things into the garage tomato pots up against the house for protection. I have a plan. The wind aloft will be at 150mph that’s perfect for large hail that has me worried.Its sunny and peaceful right now-temps rising will turn the AC on. Humidifier is really working pulling moisture out of the air. I’m going to enjoy a cup of coffee then get moving doing things😍Have a good day stay cool😎 up north… Read more »

Good morning Sunshine. I’m sorry you have to go thru all the work of moving around plants. I hope the bad stuff misses you. Looking at your parents radar, it doesn’t look like the worse part will make it as far north as them. Hope so, they got enough on their plate. Watch your back today. Prevention.

It won’t be that much work, there’s not a lot to do, Up north they had the early part of this system go through-they deffinatly got storms this morning. We are in the bullseye I think there’s no chance of a miss with this one, but I’m hoping for no bad wind or hail or tornados. I warned the folks who have the taco truck that this was coming so they can be safe and maybe not be in the taco truck-van when this hits.The last hail storm they were in the truck when that happened.

It is hot tonight! I have an appointment on Thursday to have my car air conditioning fixed. Since we only have one car, the guys at the shop are going to drive me home after I get there at 8:00 in the morning, and then work on the car, come get me and take me back to the shop so I can pick up my car.. That is just so nice of them. We met them about a month ago, when something went wrong with my right front and rear blinkers at the same time, and I stopped in, and… Read more »

Thank you, Debbie. Are you going to cool that 80° down before you go to bed? At least in your room? I meant to type 68°, not 60.

Who needs Taco Bell ?!! They look SO good. ☺️ Sleep good, try to stay cool. Ice cubes around your neck or something. (I have seriously contemplated something like that before.)

You could make an ice cube necklace. Just string a string from one little compartment to others in water in a tray and freeze. Walla! Of course you may need to either sit outside or in the bathtub. 🤣

🤣😅 You figured it out! After i get it made, I could maybe just put a drop/drip cloth in the right spot and stay inside, in my chair, for a little bit, anyway. 😂 Cools me off just thinking about it. 🧊

Hey Karen, I think I’ll still be okay tonight. I have a little fan on the stand next to the bed and I shoot it right at me. Although the problem is Michi, my little darling Kitty loves it too. So she lays in front of it and hogs all the breeze

And he made everything but the shells no he doesn’t make the shells. No we haven’t turned the AC on yet. It’s not humid yet. Soon as the monsoon humidity comes and we’ll be forced to do it. So we’re still good. Good night!

Storms not going to hit until the afternoon so I don’t have to move things tonight to safe spots or figure out how to cover some things I can put plastic chairs over some plants for the hail but baseball size would break the chairs🙄 it’s going to be a crap shoot tomorrow just handle it warning by warning
