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 Sunshine. I hope you are having a good day, soon to get more involved in your two hobbies. Gardening and Monarch raising. Have fun with both. Enjoy the outside today. Maybe you should eat something before you take an allergy pill. I should talk. I forgot my pills last night.

Good morning. Our rain, thunder and lightning yesterday continued into the morning. Rick was up and showered by 6am to get on the roof to drain the cooler. Luckily the rain stopped long enough for him to get that done and then started up the AC. The house feels better but we have a hard time with the doors being closed now. We like to have them open. I can see the fire on the mountains and I can smell the smoke. There was another Colorado toad on the patio this morning…remember I am up super early so I am… Read more »

Good Morning Ardyth, the fire looks so scary, but pretty to in the dark, How far is it from you? remember if you can smell the smoke the air quality might not be good. Does it look like the fire is spreading? The picture of the toad is so cute, being the toad has a baby face, its pretty eyes and looks like its smiling😃

I’m so glad that it won’t reach you, embers can be carried many miles on the wind. Its the fact that you can see it is mind blowing to me

Good morning Ardy. I hope you aren’t in any danger because of the fires. But I would imagine you may need to limit your outdoors time. It is good you have the AC on.

I’ve had a good day overall. I can’t complain. I guess I had better say good night. It is later than usual. I’m glad I got to see you. You and your baby have a good play or snuggle time. Hope you ate a good supper, and sleep well with pleasant dreams. Love you Karen and glad you are my friend.

Thursday at 11:00 am, The Obama Center opens. Will be on MSNOW and I don’t know what other channels. I’m assuming it’s Eastern Time.

Thanks Karen. I don’t know for sure I get it. I know we have MSNBC. I imagine YouTube may have a live feed.

Debbie, MSNBC is now MSNOW. Weird, I know. I should have annotated accordingly, as it hasn’t been that way for very long. I bet most folks still call it MSNBC. Sorry.
