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 Bella Buds. We have a nice day so far, 78, 70% humidity. But it is still relatively early. Today I leave a little before noon to get a hair cut, followed by a doc appointment with primary here in my area, not Somerset. So, I put on the harness and boots once and get 2 things done! Might even stop at a produce place I have frequented for many years but haven’t been there since the hospital. I didn’t see the kitten at all yesterday, so I don’t know any more than you do. Sure hope all of… Read more »

Hi Julie I looked at the clock when you were leaving and thought the store opened earlier than I thought. I don’t go to stores in the morning.

Have a good time getting a haircut😘 good you get to stick around town. I was wondering if that kitten didn’t belong to some body and they caught it and brought it back home-like it got out and found it again? or someone else rescued it?

We don’t have new people across the street. They moved in one day, then we saw them move out the next. We were perplexed. Jo went and asked the owners what happened. Turns out a young man had rented it. Then they raised the rent on his mother and she needed help. He asked to get out of his lease and the owners allowed it. He then moved in with his mother. The house is still empty.

I didn’t know they moved out, maybe they dumped the kitten?

No they were only there one day, I’m not even sure anyone stayed that night. It has probably been 3 weeks. I wonder if the kitten was dropped here. People know we have an indoor cat?

Okay, I’m not going to bed just yet, but I’m going to go outside and turn off the water. Been going for about an hour. I haven’t watered the backyard in about 3 days, so it really needs it. I’ll be up for a little while longer though. I know some of you are on your way already. Love to you all, i’m so fortunate to be part of such a lovely group of ladies who have extraordinary skills of understanding and comforting. 😘😍

Thank you Debbie. I’m sorry yours was a disappointment. I definitely got lucky. You can never tell. I don’t care what they say to look for, still sometimes it doesn’t work out. Will let you know how it tastes. 🙂🙃
