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.

This popped up on FB…thin and crispy looks good.
I will read this post about teriyaki in a little bit, Ardyth. Once I click on the link, it will kick me out of SPO, so I’ll read a couple of posts first. 🤗
Yep I hate that it does that now, it didnt used to
It sure is PITA! 🙂
I hate that if you respond to an early post it kicks it to the top. That was bad enough, but used to you could refresh once and the post would get back in order. Now I can refresh multiple times and it doesn’t work. So I completely shut down, sometimes that works, sometimes not. I think responding to an older posts should stay where the original post was.
Well, guess what!? I didn’t get kicked off SPO this time. Yay! Evidently, they fixed the problem.
Anyway, that beef jerky looks really good! Thanksco posting. The pictures look like one or two of the choices contain medium/rare slices. Is that correct?
Such a PITA that it does that 😠
That happens to me too
I think they just might have fixed it. We’ll see, on down the road.
Hey BellaFam 💖
Reached 106F today; only 84F tomo; may have to go into the winter closet to break out the sweaters. 😏
Dig out your coat. It will be cold! Well, maybe not cold, but feel like it! 😁
Yes, I had to put on my robe this morning in the house. I thought, Wow ! This is stupid, air conditioner running and I’m wearing a robe. Didn’t want to dare to turn off the a/c. 😅
I understand! It’s too hard to get it going again 🙄
Afraid it would not restart?
Yes, be too tired to do the start-up again. Or make me wait to cool. Would be just my luck. They have always been finicky, and I just don’t need it right now!
I understand.
wow what a difference in a day
Great explanation of our recent and current weather conditions, Pam. 😅 It reads a little like my brain activity lately, also. 🤯

Oh no, poor thing — so hard on the veterinarians 😢🙏
Yes it sure is……hope she makes it….Shadow will end up getting another mate…feel bad for him too.
Poor Shadow 😔 Jackie may never be released back into the wild.
she may not be, hope she survives.
Talons crossed! 🙏
Sad, but a possibility. 😢
I feel bad for him, too. Jackie is his ONLY. He was so determined when he wooed her at 4 to 4-1/2 years old. He was so determined that she would be his mate. I’m still praying Jackie will heal in time enough to meet up with him next season or sooner.
Oh yes. I heard the word was put out to speed up all the testing they’re doing. 😧
That hurts my heart.
I know, Debbie. Mine too.
Hugs for you dear Karen.
Thank you, Debbie. Hugs for you too. 💕 I just pray we don’t get really bad news. I was thinking about all the work Sandy Steers did over the years – following baby Jackie after she hatched, and continuing to follow her as she matured and eventually built this nest, to being able to get a camera on the nest, with support from wildlife doctors and organizations, creating the FOBBV organization with support of the community, and after all that, she just passed away this year, and now her baby, who she did the whole thing for, is in trouble.… Read more »
Oh thanks for the summary on Sandy. I didn’t know all of that. I certainly didn’t know she knew Jackie as a baby! That is rare to know an eaglet grown into a breeding adult in the wild. Wow! Was Jackie banded to be able to keep up with her like this?
Sandy said that Jackie’s parents were the first eagles to come to Big Bear Valley and nest. They built one, and then Jackie tore it up as she learned to fly etc. So Jackie kept coming back after she fledged, every year and in between years. Then upon maturing, she built her nest and ended up with Mr B, and then Shadow. Jackie was the first eagle not to migrate out of the area. Sandy kind of explained how they knew all of this, but it was pretty complicated. I can probably find it on one of her dissertations on… Read more »
Wow Karen that is some history. I don’t think I have heard of any other eagle that was traced from the egg to years of being a known nesting eagle, and in the same location. Thanks for the info.
It is amazing, Debbie. I sure hated that we lost Sandy this year. She was so dedicated to this nest. She knew everything!
She sure did.
I hate my right hand being so deformed. I am very anxious to get some help. Ortho says it can’t get any worse. But I am staying in touch with RA office.
My hand got worse, but not like yours. I’m so sorry Karen. You needed RA years ago.
@Ardyth ~ Tucson I order Mike’s jerky. They have a special, 5 small packages for $35 plus free shipping. I did not get to pick the flavors for this special but I felt it was a good way to sample 5 flavors with a discount on the product and free shipping. But I really do want to try the pineapple. I definitely will order it.
Yes it’s Mikes special. I have wanted to get it but two of them would be too hot for me. Let me know what you think of all of them, the only one of his special i have tried and buy all the time is butter mesquite.
I’ll tell you.
That sounds really good! Pineapple! Nice combo!
Hi Karen it did to me too. I know I’ll order it next, I just thought the special would be good to start with.
Oh i agree. Always start with the special. 😄
@KyDebbie I don’t care for beef jerky. It is just too chewy for me. I like beef sticks. If you like beef sticks, these are really good and they are from IA cows. 😃

Thanks Becki I will check them out. Are they like jerky, don’t require a refrigerator other than to prolong freshness. I have grabbed the jerky when I just needed a little something going out the door until I could really eat. I usually have a cooler but not always. I’m sure I would like them. Thanks for the suggestion.
SOGO…..My friend Larry that I went to high school lives in Decorah and its his sons business. I have ordered from them
SOGO beef sticks
Several flavors. Yum.
SOGO from Decorah doesnt charge shipping
and you get 12 , the other 10
That is a big deal. Shipping is expensive.
SOGO is my friend sons company. Larry is the one that lives in Decorah and him and his wife ride there bike by the nest….They have met Judy Preston.
I have ordered from them many times
Sounds good!
The kind I buy is thin and not chewy from Albuquerque. They come to the street to sell it
Have you ordered from SOGO?
Yes I have. They are good.
I’m heading out going for a walk see you later😘

Yikes!!!! I best be careful!!! Enjoy your walk
Ardy what was the brand of the jerky you liked the best?
I will message you the link
I’m so careful when I clean my ears, just because this could happen, I have never heard of it happening to someone I know. Walk will be nice, I’m walking past the community gardens and prarie😍
I never even thought of that!
Have fun whatever you do.
Wow! What a weird injury! Poor thing! Not something you hear about every day. I hope it clears up quickly for her. I’m sorry you didn’t get to go, and have to wait. But you just have a little more time to build up your excitement, and that will make it even more better! 😉😊
I got to do this once, it’s wonderful — so happy for you 💞
Oh, I wish you could have invited me to go! 🤣 That is special. 🥰
NOTE: I just saw your second message on this, but left my msg here anyway. 🫠
