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.

Well, y’all, I’ve been instructed to get more rest, and it’s nice and cool tonight, so i’m going to hit the sack. Just a gentle, cool breeze coming into the bedroom, almost chilly — I will really snuggle under the covers. My temperature over the last 2 days has been 100, and tonight it is 99, so i’m getting better. Yippee! I hope you all sleep good tonight, with sweet dreams. 💤😴 Hope to be here tmrw. 💗

Oh dear Karen, I did not know you had a fever. That is enough to feel bad. Yes get your rest. It is good you are drinking plenty. Be sure you are eating enough your sugar doesn’t drop. Having AFIB taught me the value of meal/protein drinks. When I could not eat, I could manage to drink them. They supplied minimal, but enough, short term energy and nutrition. Good night, sleep well and peacefully. Love to you.

I think it is fine. Lynn probably just decided she didn’t want to posts some thoughts. That is ok, nothing wrong with that. I should delete a LOT of my stuff, and others would probably say finally!

Both is needed. Speaking out what you think is a good thing. But some subjects just are in a way, that we should think well, what we say , if we even say it, or how we say it. And then it still sometimes doesnt come across right. Oh well, its not easy. Hmmmmm, well…i might be slightly sweet sometimes 😉, but i sure dont “tolerate” you. Tolerate ! What a word ! I tolerate a fly in my kitchen, if it isnt a bluebottle , lol. (Learned a new funny word, the bluebottle, had to look it up). I… Read more »

Good evening…we went out of town to play mini golf but they were closed already, the website was wrong..it’s ok, we went out to eat which we had also planned to do, and we’ll do mini golf another day. Sitting on the porch now, going to feed the dogs and go for a little walk, maybe.

Hi Lynn I don’t know anyone that has so much variety in their life. You are always doing something new and different. Sounds like a good day even if the golf was closed. Enjoy your evening walk.

sorry about the rant…I just get so stressed sometimes…for different reasons. Today/tonight we really had to rush because DH fell asleep as he often does when he sits down…doesn’t get much sleep at night. I’m going to talk to the person I talked to a few years ago, she helped me find ways to deal with stress…sorry but I’m always feeling the opposite Debbie, we do so little compared to most others I know. I’m often feeling stressed and trapped, don’t even know if we can go to the lake for a couple hours this summer, didn’t last either

Oh Lynn, I can relate. ❤️ We haven’t taken a vacation for 20 years. Just doesn’t happen. I remember feeling so great and refreshed when we took even short breaks from everyday living. It does make a difference. I think the answer is: force yourself to do it, but i haven’t done that either. Sometimes I just go off by myself and watch old movies all night. That helps a little.

Lynn this is the post I was responding to that I thought went away. I had typed a bit, but now I see your post here, but mine is gone. I must be crazy. I won’t repeat all I typed, but I’ll just say I really understand how you feel. I live in a house that stresses me too. And mostly because of health, mine, Jo, and my mother, it has been a long time since I’ve been on a real vacation. Your husband is not retired. He has a “regular job”, rentals to take care of, his dad and… Read more »

Good evening. Sorry to miss out on everything. I slept most of the day. The heat has just wiped me out. Doctor said almost heat exhaustion. I didn’t have to go in yet, just talked to him on the phone. Have to make sure i’m super-hydrated and rested, so I-m now a water balloon. Got up and got caught up in the movie Red Wing. Excellent movie. Good news on Jackie. Thanks for posting, Julie. So nice that Ardyth saw all those animals, like they were waiting on her to show up! I’m amazed how fast Rick is recovering, Pam.… Read more »

Hi Lady Bug😍🐞 I was just checking back in to see if anyone was here. Make sure you are getting electrolytes drinking water flushes them out of you and your body needs those. In the heat get plenty of rest when you can it drains you and accumulates in our bodies. Even just putting a fresh lemon slice in your water gives you electrolytes

Hi Karen, sorry about the heat exhaustion. You must have gone outside doing things. But you are doing the right thing now! Yes, I have really missed pizza, and I still need to be careful eating something like that, always eat som

ething else that is not calorie dense.

Cool and rainy last night, with the morning starting out nice, now it’s back up to 95F 😏 Got a new trash bin today; the city called and had us leave the old broken one out so they could replace it for free. 🤗
Ardyth’s a one-woman marketing rep for MN wildlife 🐾
Not much to report, Rick’s been working at rehab all day. We’ll go tomo.
Hope this person didn’t get a ticket; they only followed the sign’s directive ↓↓ 😄

Hi Pam. Good that Rick is getting a lot of work. I only got about 2, sometimes a little more, hours. I’m sure you will be happy to see Rick tomorrow. Hope you can see a positive change.
I thought the car joke was funny until I realized what the sign really meant! Then it was hilarious. 🤣
