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.

just a little heads up for people who didn’t know this…I saw down below where and Karen were discussing clicking on a link in here and getting kicked off the page, if you right click on the link and pick “open in new tab” that won’t happen because it will open in a different tab, hope this is helpful for someone

Dear Karen, I must say good night. I hate to leave your company, because I enjoy talking to you so much. But I’m sleepy and it just works out for me to be consistent in my sleep times. Not perfectly, but in the general area. I care a lot about you. Hugs my sweet friend, and love. Sleep well and in your bed, not the table! 🥰♥️🥰.

I think this diet you’ve been on will stick in your brain, which will remind you how good you are now feeling. You sleep good tonight. Love to you. 🤗🤗 & 😘😘

Hello, sweet ladies! 😘🤗 I just noticed that I signed off last night without answering a couple of posts. 😟 I’m sorry, I was so tired, just all of a sudden, as if someone had hit me and I was going to pass out. I did fall asleep before I could stand up, though, and I hit my head on the table, so the warning didn’t really help much. I was able to get up and get into bed before anything else happened. Maybe the fact that I did receive a small warning will help my doctor and I figure… Read more »

Karen have you seen an actual sleep specialist? There are doctors that specialize in sleep. They are M.D.’s, They sign their name and underneath it says Diplomat, American Board of Sleep Medicine. This sounds serious to me that you stand up like that and then fall. Pam is right, document everything. You have dealt with this a long time now. Time for a real specialist. It may progress to not driving, using a stove.

I usually fall asleep just sitting here, watching TV, usually with phone in hand. I somehow don’t realize i am that tired, or that I could really be that tired, based on my lifestyle, eating/sleeping patterns, etc. I had sleep studies done after I had pneumonia and had developed asthma and a couple of allergies. I just can’t remember right now what they were looking for, exactly. I do remember that it was terrible having all the little wires taped all over my head. And then having to try to go to sleep in a strange place. I don’t ever… Read more »

You probably had a study done for sleep apnea, but that is totally different than what is happing to you. They do have both inpatient and outpatient in home studies. The first one was inpatient like you, the second and third were done at home with special monitors. Sleep apnea is caused by blockage of the tongue in the air passage. I don’t think that is your problem because you are awake when it starts. I think yours may be neurological. Instead of a sleep specialist you may need a neurologist.

Hey there, Butterfly 🦋 😘. Yes, I think this new info will help with knowing what direction to go in finding the problem. I really don’t take many meds. Thyroid meds, cholesterol pills, and various OTC vitamins, etc. I was able to go off BP meds a year ago or so. Thank you for your suggestions. 😍
