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 are probably going to get a lot of rain. I imagine there will be some flooding around. I’m not worrying about us, but you don’t like to see others have problems. I don’t have any real plans for today. Maybe I’ll get my curtains ordered. I’ve seen several I like. Julie, I do like a lot of the ones with sunflowers and butterflies. They seem to have nice colors, not too subdued or “busy” or bright. Thanks for the suggestion. ‘Ardy so nice to have you back here with the Phamily. Will you go to… Read more »

Good Morning Debbie😍 will Jo like the curtains? or is she a solid color type person? I think the Sunflower butterfly ones would look nice in your kitchen and would go with every thing😘 Its Saturday I don’t talk to my Mom till tomorrow

Jo is not too picky about curtains and such unless she really doesn’t like it. I’ll show her the one I like to be sure she agrees. She hasn’t said any thing about the curtain over the sink that has a hole I could put my fist through! I think the hole was caused by it rubbing against the water spigot for the filtered water.

Hi girls and ARDY !
Ardy, i made replies to you below. I came, to see, that you made it home safely.
I want to repeat one thing up here : please dont eat this fish. Frozen, thawed, frozen, its dangerous, food poisoning-wise.
Packing it well, still cold doesnt make a difference. It gets and develops bacteria and toxins. Dont get me wrong, please. 😘.
Have a good day .

It would make you really sick if you ate it, bacteria, did it’s still feel cold? was the fish frozen? working with food like I have and have food safety classes taken. I wouldn’t serve it to the public

It was still cold……..Idk I will tell Rick but i bet he will cook it

Yes, you can eat fish that has thawed in a suitcase as long as it is still cold (below 40°F / 4°C), but you must cook it immediately or cook and then refreeze it. Do not refreeze raw thawed fish

julie
August 1, 2026 10:12 am

Just don’t want you two to get food poisoning, if it smells really fishy and is slimey don’t eat it, like a strong fish smell its fresh water fish it should smell clean

A supermarket wouldnt be allowed, to sell it. No cold chain as it should be. We had food poisoned people in the hospital. Not nice at all. When meat or fish is thawed or partly thawed , then cook it right away ! Otherwise bacteria will multiply on the thawed stuff. Bad for our body. If rick would have cooked it right away, then he could have put the cooked fishmeal in the freezer again. Cooking fish completely kills the bacteria. I know, its a pita. Cant you buy another fish like that in your city ? I just saw… Read more »
