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.
I’m about half way through watching the Espys. If you watched it I bet you remember the story of the “little hand”. Made me cry, so touching.
I watched part of the Espys the other night, it was entertaining, help me out with the little hand thing
A pitcher was honored who made the pros in baseball. He has one miniature, nonfunctional hand that is really little. His pre-school daughter once asked him if he liked his little hand. He told the story when he accepted an award. He also talked about his 2nd grade teacher who pulled him into the hall. The teacher clinched one hand to make it unusable and preceded to learn to tie a shoe with one hand, then taught the child how to do it.

Two peas in a pod.
You have that right sister, just talked to Judy she says Hi!!!!😍
Hi Miss Judy.
Oh no . . . with humidity too. 🥺
Is there really an HELL in Michigan
Yes there is!
It’s a fun town
Yes there is
Yes
😂
Wow!!
the smoke is gone and it would be ok to have the party at a park but the caregiver said she’s afraid some wouldn’t come so guess it will be inside, bummer…his house just isn’t good for that..
The main thing is FIL is celebrated and loved and I’m sure that will be done. Does he have a yard where guests can also go outside if they choose?
he has a yard but can’t see anyone doing that…some will just stop in for a bit
So it is a revolving door kind of thing, that is good especially for an older person. It might be easier for him than the park?
revolving door? well I told peoplle it’s ok to come late, last time people just came when they could and left whenever..would have been nicer in the park, not jammed into his house, much nicer view and just to get him out would be nice.
i meant by “revolving door” sorta like reception style. It works well for retiring folks and I think a lot of things for elderly where there really aren’t planned activities, organized games, or a sit down meal.
yes, like an open house..I did tell some people that in case they can’t make it at 5…probably most will arrive around then and maybe leave earlier than some others. ..we’ll have pizza and cake.
I wish I had pizza! Good choice.
sorry about the weather/smoke changing the plans
smoke is still heavy here
sorry, Deb 🙁
😊
It has to be really hard for you Deb. You are close to the actual fires aren’t you? Maybe Michigan is closer. I’m not sure exactly where the fires are. I’ll go look.
I looked and if I’m interpreting correctly a large swath of out of control fires actually touch the northern border of MN, maybe actually into MN.
They are in Minnesota
Yep it was at JoAnns on Wednesday
A fire at JoAnn’s? Or just smoke? Does she live in northern MN?
Yes they moved up north three years ago and bought a house on the lake……just smoke
I probably would have been more upset in my statement had it been fire
I knew about the lake home just not exactly where. I knew it is a ways from Austin. How close to actual fire?
That I dont know. I would have to Google and I am trying to Google less…. but a big change from yesterday today
Is the change to the good or to the bad. Is that the lake JoAnn lives near?
That is her lake, Ripple lake
Looks BIG! I had it pictured much smaller. It has waves. Beautiful.
they are 2 hours north of me, google Minnesota wildfires or Boundary Waters Canoe area aka BWCA
Bet the smoke is bad.
yes, it’s still bad here I can’t even imagine being closer to it
I showed the fire map.
He might be more comfortable in the house with this heat Lynn, its still hazy here but better than it has been. Its 88 right now feels like 94. Hard to have a outdoor thing. When its hot. It will work out😘
don’t know…sometimes it feels nicer outside than in his house..he likes to sit outside
I imagine he likes to sit outside for a change of scenery
sooo..it’s Taco Bell’s fault…well, like Julie calls it, Taco Hell lol
no its the lettuce supplier
exactly
well, it’s not really Tao Bell’s fault it’s really the company they are buying the lettuce from “Taylor Farms” and their products are also sold at Target, Walmart,Whole Foods etc
I know I’ve bought their Kale salad, which is really good. Thankfully it has been a good while.
Yes
that’s what DH told me
he was wrong😆sorry
he was probably trying to be a bit funny, I’m thinking…he does that to me
They were blaming it on Taco Bell at first before knowing the facts
Thats right Deborah, contamination wasn’t Taco Hells fault, they get the lettuce already chopped and cleaned, so they can just take it out of the bag and use it. They will have to clean everything really well
they stopped ordering from that company from what I understand
I got a few things done already. Cooked some squash/zucchini/onions and got corn ready to cook on the cob. Corn is harder than it sounds because I cut rings of it for Casey. Those cobs can be stubborn to cut!
