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 evening…we had rain on and off and it’s been so gray all day, made me tired…so I didn’t do a lot, just little things and read and rested. I just had some sweet corn and tomato..the sweet corn wasn’t as good as what we had last time but the tomato was from the caregiver’s garden and good. Looks like we might get more rain the next couple days.

It’s not supposed to take effect til 2027; if the electorate do their job to protect themselves and vote for the people to help keep it … maybe we can get it back 😟

Howdy do BellaFam 💖 Had a little rain this morning before hitting 93. Got the landline fixed; no dial tone for days, such a pain. 🙄 The tech out here is great, he gave me his personal cell and his supervisors in case we can’t get a repair ticket scheduled/done in a timely manner. 🤗 It’s the phone Rick uses; he gets priority since he’s disabled. Chuck got medical power of attorney signed and on file at the Dr. office. Washed a load of Rick’s clothes for Chuck to take tomo. Poor Ardyth, what a nightmare of a trip home;… Read more »

Chuck and i are going to try and talk him into getting a flip phone and put him on my Consumer Cellular; it’ll save him about $40 a month!

I use a flip phone for phone calls its fine. I do miss my landline cordless phone, I could walk around outside with it. I didn’t want a cell phone I had a answering machine. I don’t like having a phone with me, I was not home and I didn’t need to know if I got a call or text.

Y’all are taking such good care of Rick. I’m sure it means a lot. Your telephone guy reminds me of our guy. He does land phone and internet, used to be cable too. He stops by sometimes just to visit. It is a perk of living in a small community. Bet your neighbors are willing to help too. Oh dear, we can relate to the funny right now!
