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 thought we had a problem with our refrigerator last night. I was getting water and ice in a cup and noticed the display seemed to be not right. We have had a problem with the digital display, with seeing the numbers not all lit up. That has probably been a couple years, but we could still see the numbers in a dim way and the refrigerator was working properly. The display can mess up just by being touched in a wrong way. Anyway I was uncertain the fridge was working properly. I was putting in… Read more »
Good Morning Debbie wouldn’t the digital thing just be the computer chip? and not the fridge its self? wouldn’t think that would effect the fridge? Did you unplug the fridge? so it could thaw out? now you got yourself a cleaning job, Just need to keep it closed your making it work harder. You are the Energizer bunny today
The display looked different. I didn’t unplug it because I won’t to see how it was in the morning. It seems to be working. I’m not exactly energetic just want to get it done.
But that doesn’t effect how the fridge works right? the chip just might be wearing out?
The thermometer were not showing low enough temps. Could be I opened the door too much, could be the thermometers need more time to calibrate. And it didn’t help I was on my way to bed and tired. Seems I was really busy yesterday.
Are they the right kind of thermometers? made for fridges? you can’t uses regular one. You usually put the thermometer in and wait at least 6 hours. I had to use them at work
Yes one is.
Knowing about taking time to calibrate is why I was uncertain about the cooling.
Then that’s the one that works😘
WOW that is a lot of work! whew!
Yea, but now I’m compelled to clean the empty fridge! 😫
You will be glad if you clean it, once its done😘
I know. The refrigerator box is done, just the door bins to go.
Your moving right along good for you😘 I should do that too
cleaning done except outside could be cleaned. That can wait. All drawers, bins fridge and freezer, drying. Will have to wait to move any food until it is colder.
Will you clean ours now😍
Oh….;……..;;..😫
😁
Nice job Debbie😍 I did the dishes
Ardyth consider bringing a hoodie for being out side at night temps are going to be in the 50’s at night up here
I am always cold there at night….I am bringing a sweater “coat” as I call it.
I knew you would not take a hoodie! 😁
Oh good was just thinking about sitting around the camp fire-something you don’t mind getting smokey
Off to start some yard stuff while it is cool. Be back later. 🌸🌼
see you later Lady Bug😘
Yes you will, Butterfly.. 😍
bye
Good morning Karen. It is good to get things done before it heats up. What sort of things do you do outside? I think you said you have a big tree of some sort. Do you have to clean up under it?
Good Morning Bellas we didn’t get any of the rain and that’s to bad.Its a nice cool morning sun is shining no smoke will get in my garden today and try to tame the weeds😂 Have a lovely day😍
Good morning Butterfly!! 🦋! Make sure you take your weed whipper out when you go. 🤣 too bad it didn’t rain, but at least the pesky smoke is not there.
will needs mosquito spray
Oh yes, definitely!
Good morning Sunshine. You will enjoy getting in your garden. Sorry no rain.
I found another Monarch egg this morning😍My two caterpillars or going into chrysalis. Jade wants to go outside
Good! Better to go out in the cooler morning, then rest and inside during the hottest hours.
Good Morning !!! I leave in the morning for Minnesota. I am so excited. It has been 8 years and I was going back every other year…. my friend and her husband moved up North to Aitkin so they needed time to get settled so i will be in new territory. We are going to Austin from the airport for one night to see my friends and go to the SPAM museum…have to see what new SPAM things are for sale! I will try to let you know what day we go to Duluth and here is where i will… Read more »
This will be my view from her house and deck😘
Such a beautiful view. Wish I was going with you!
It is beautiful I cant wait
I bet not! Will you be swimming and boating and fishing and everything in the lake?
They are not fishing people but I know they will take me out on the lake in the pontoon….No swimming for me!!! I dont own a bathing suit
That’s okay — just being able to look at it whenever you want is enough, really. I haven’t owned a bathing suit in about 30 years. Those days are over for me. I guess you could put on a summer blouse and wading pants, so you can walk around in the shallow section. That would feel so good on your feet. Or shorts. Or just a pair of pants, rolled up.
There spot doesnt have a beach front by the lake she said. I have owned a suit for years either
Are those pussy willows? I haven’t seen those in years!! Such a beautiful view.
looks like it
Look for Eagles and Osprey!!!!
YES They do have eagles flying over the lake now and then
So beautiful, they have a pontoon😍
So beautiful.
Wow!! You really are wound up, aren’t you Ardyth? 🤣😘 I would be too! What a beautiful picture that is below. I have never seen a yard that big and beautiful! Not a weed anywhere! The SPAM Museum!??? Lucky lady! I’m so excited for you! 😄
I am not bad Karen….more so in the morning tomorrow.
The SPAM museum is in our home town. Austin MN is the home town of Hormel and they make SPAM. The corporate offices are still there too. My dad worked at the plant like most dads did back in the day.
Hi Gabi😘 great gift
😃
😍
Ardy, please let me know, too, when you wave in duluth.🙂.
I wont have time to let everyone know but i will post here when we are going and i will post on Duluth because some want to see me there.
It wont be exact time but i will post the day we are going and when we are close…best i can do
Ok👋.😃.
I love that picture in the middle, with you on top of that can of SPAM. It’s really cute! And then the SPAM exam, with all those cute little piggies! I never knew SPAM was such a big deal. I never heard too much about it when I was growing up. I hear so much more about it nowadays.
Goid Morning Lady Bug😍🐞
Good morning, Butterfly 🦋 😘 I did say good morning up top, but hey, one never can have too many good morning wishes! I hope you have a really sweet day! Say hello to your little caterpillars, etc, for me. 🥰
I was just outside and found another egg😘
So cool!! 🥰
ccool
I have a SPAM kitchen and many shirts. I also have SPAM license plate
Well, you really are a SPAM gal. I know you like to eat it too. 😋😀
I do
I’m so happy for you Ardyth😍
Good morning Ardy. I know you are happy, excited, anxious. How far is Austin from where JoAnn lives now? Do you drive or fly there? When you are away from home is it easier for you to communicate by email, text, or messenger? I assume you will only have your phone, not your laptop? I will send you anything I think may be of particular interest. If I know when you are at Duluth let me know and I’ll try to get a screen shot. If you can give some advance notice I can more easily be sure I’m at… Read more »
She lives in Aitkin now. Of course I have never been there but I looked up the population and it is 2,155. I fly from here to Salt Lake City and then to Minneapolis. She will drive to the airport which is a three hour drive and then we go to Austin for the night which is two hours from the airport. So going back from Austin to Aitkin will be a five hour drive. It will more than likely be bad for my restless legs. I will only have my phone……no time to sit around on my laptop which… Read more »
Thanks for reminding me of rewind I forget about that. The problem for me is I can text APPLE users on my iPad but I can’t text android. I forget and try to text android on my iPad and get mad at me for forgetting. I can text anyone on my iPhone so if I didn’t forget it would be no problem! Just be sure I use my phone.
You can message me the way we usually chat through Messenger.
Good.
so excited for you, my dad grew up in Aitkin many long years ago…the spam museum should be a lot of fun, I will for sure be watching for you on the Duluth cam and maybe I will get down there myself and bump into you
I/We go to the SPAM museum/shop every time I go back and we always buy things!
Wouldn’t that be fun if we bumped in to each other!!!
Safe travels, ardy !😃.
Thanks Gabi…off tomorrow and back on July 30
Have fun and do the things you like doing.😘.
thanks
i’m off — Night, night 😴
I’m a bit off too 😂
Aren’t we all, Lynn!? That’s why we get along. 😅😂
