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.

Why do cats want to go outside? I am thinking they use the litter box, so do they just want to go outside to play around?

How truly horrible. I hope one day we can figure out how to somewhat prevent these fires. Maybe thinning things, out or something.

Park services have been cut here in the US,I think if there were rangers we would be able to spot fires earlier when they are small, before the spread. Like these fires were started by lightning strikes. If there were rangers fires could be spotted and reported faster. Saving trees, wildlife, peoples homes, peoples health. and global warming has changed wind patterns in states for Wisconsin the change in wind patterns has brought the smoke. Climate change at work

So sad and so true. I know many Canadians came south of the border to help us with our fires. We just recently had one guy in Colorado, from Canada, operating a helicopter to fight one of our fires, and he was killed. And now some say Canada’s fires are their own!!??! Unimaginable!
