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.

There was something you were going to do after the anniversary date, but i can,t remember. Confused it with the boat ride, I guess.

Eve-nin’ !!!!! Lynn, your anniversary pictures are just beautiful. I put most of my response below. ❤️ Debbie, it was really nice chatting with you last night. I hated to bother you, but when I didn’t hear from you for so long on SPO, I thought something might be up. Anyway, I’m glad I did call to talk to you and also hear Casey talking. Such a sweet sounding little man. You did give me quite the third degree when you first answered my call and had no idea who I was. I don’t blame you though, I would do… Read more »

😂. Yes I did give you the fifth degree, but really just 2 questions! I’m lucky you didn’t hang up on ME. I am sorry I worried you. I need to remember what I have said before myself. I worry when others depart from their usual. One person could cause me worry if they are gone just a few hours because it is unusual for them. Another person could be gone a whole day and I wouldn’t worry because they do it often. So, I departed from my usual because I’m always here, even on trips! I’m actually here more… Read more »

And yes, that’s what worried me was that you have never done that as long as I’ve been chatting with you. So I thought maybe I better check it out. And, I am so glad you were okay. ❤️Thanks for understanding.

Here’s the story…we were at the party, I was in the kitchen getting pizza and chatting with one of the coworkers…turned around and couldn’t believe what I was seeing! Like it was a dream or something. DS had just walked in and walked over towards his grandpa…I was so surprised, shocked, stunned…we had texted a few days before and I was talking about the party, told him it was mostly the caregivers and that I knew he was far away and my sister had just left so…anyway…he almost didn’t get there or at least not on time…plane delays and no… Read more »

Hi Lynn! 🤗 I am so glad you all had such a nice time at your father-in-law’s birthday. He actually looks quite amazing for his age. You guys have done a good job keeping him healthy, happy, and moving along. I also am so happy that DS was able to be there. This is the first time I have seen him. A handsome young man. And of course the meals that you and your DH had looked delicious! Made my mouth water. Now all that is left is to finish it up with that boat ride. That will be nice… Read more »
