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.

One of my surgeries I had compression hoses up to my thigh. I was at my fattest and it binded on my thigh, top rolled, turned the area purple lr black. That wasn’t fun. Finally I called and told to discontinue it, but that was probably risky. When I got the knee infection and had emergency surgery they used a very long ACE bandage.

Good morning Bella Buds. 78, cloudy, rain coming. I’m doing some cooking today. I don’t yet know which meat, either a beef Chuck roast, ham steak or pork chops. The beef and chops are from Aldi’s,l they seem to be best there than the other groceries. Half runner green beans cooked with little potatoes and country ham seasoning. Corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. I’ll probably cook biscuits for Jo even tho I stay mad at her. I watched the new Little House on the Prairie last night on Netflix. If you remember I got it because I just… Read more »

oh dear Ardy sorry about your gut. Hope the expired Pepto helps. It might, the ingredients may not loose a lot of potency. Maybe you will improve enough to go to late church.

Home from the music…saw a few people that i know and talked to them…the music was r and b, soul, LOTS of brass! which I LOVE…loved it when DS was in band, especially when he played sax! and the band was state champions for 21 or so years. So..the music was really good and fun. I texted DH while there, he had to go to his dad’s early, like 5, no caregiver. His dad now wakes him around 5 a.m.! way too early, in dementia mode. Watching the Cubs now.

Hi Lynn, I’m glad you had a nice time listening to music. 🤩 I don’t care much for the blues, but I do love the sax. It’s really so sad about your father-in-law being so sick. One of these days we will make old age problems a priority. Not too soon though, I think. It is just so hard on the families — we need to be able to figure it out. My opinion anyway. In the meantime, it is what it is. You sure do a great job for your husband,though. I know he appreciates you so much. 😘… Read more »

It wasn’t blues music, but 70s r and b, 60s motown. Actually he probably thinks I don’t do that much, lol..well, compared to him I don’t for sure, I’ll admit that..but I try to take care of the house and my furkids. I like doing nothing some days…just reading, hanging out…relaxing…

From what I read, Lynn, you do a lot. True, he has a lot on him, but You are always there for him and taking care of him and wondering if he’s okay and wondering if you can do more for him, you are amazing! I’m sure he knows that. 😘

I sort of like Rhythm and blues, but so so. I do like ’70s rock. And I like a little country, but mainly rock. 🙃

Hi Lynn, it sounds so much fun sitting outside listening to music, people watching, looking at the sky. I love a sax too. I know you really enjoyed watching and listening to your son. I’m sorry about FIL. That is so hard to deal with.
