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.

Flickered just enough to drop everything; now the wind/rain took down Satellite feed and trying to shatter windows; this is not good. 🙏
Hope to see you soon.

That was good. Smart. You didn’t have to do the steps, but I’m sure you could have if you had to.

Oh no Pam. Be careful. So you don’t have tv but do have internet? Are all of you in the basement? Are there tornado watches? Or warnings?

It is like us and Lexington. We are about that distance from them. Recently they had street flooding and some downed trees and damage. It wasn’t really bad, I don’t think homes actually were flooded. We had some rain, not a lot and no storm.

I always thought it was cool as a kid, the way they would count down when thunder would roll, based on lightning strikes.

Hello . . . So hot in Tucson!! Don’t melt, Ardyth!! Makes me swoon. So glad the fireworks were cancelled for the eaglets, Julie! Wishing the Big Bear community would do the same. 😥 Nice animal pictures on chat today. I would absolutely faint if wild pigs walked in front of me while I was walking in my neighborhood!!! I’m sorry ur neighbors are moving, Lynn. That is a big deal! 🥺 Pam, I’m so glad the weather simmered there last night. What a scary feeling. Debbie, I’m sorry you are having problems with logging in. I can’t imagine what… Read more »

Hi Karen It’s only 105 right now at 5:00 but the living room and the kitchen are hot because they face the West and we don’t have enough vents in these rooms. I am afraid of Javelina

Hi Ardyth. It’s hard to cook in an already hot kitchen. I have that too.
I would be afraid of Javelina too. I never knew they ran wild in populated areas.

I thought Big Bear was in a park area, so there are fireworks there?
I’m going to have to googled exactly what happened to Pete. I heard this earlier but didn’t know what it was all about.
so what is with this film on your eye? Or was it actually on a cataract implant. If so, I know about that. They remove it with a laser.

I had cataracts on both eyes years ago, at different times, and both were layered off at different times. My left eye then grew a film years that also had to be removed. Now, my right eye has grown the film, which must be layered off. It is hard to see – blurry, a little dark. This removal is called YAG surgery. Man-made Big Bear Lake is located in the San Bernadino mountains. I think the surrounding town is also called Big Bear Lake. Anyway, Jackie and Shadow have their nest on Big Bear Lake. Every year they are scared… Read more »

I googled yag surgery and it is the same surgery used post-cataract surgery, but it can be used for other things, like leaking blood vessels and intraocular pressure.
I’ll google about Pete.
I hope they don’t shoot the fireworks, but I bet they do. I didn’t know the lake was man-made. Our lake was created for flood control by damming up the river.

I remember it well. I had to work at 3:00 pm and we only had swamp cooling. It was so hot and even our huge cactus were wilting so I watered them before work. I didnt know how hot it was until that evening when i got home from work.

I’m glad you see Judy and her grandson tomorrow. That will be fun. How long will they visit? It is good they cancelled the fireworks. I really think we don’t need noisy fireworks. Stick with just pretty ones, maybe the ones that just sizzle.
