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 News: Rick reached for his water glass with his right hand & gripped it; it was shaky, but he had hold of it. Then we were notified he’s been approved for in-home care 2x a week 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ AND Mary, his ex-wife and Kitty’s BFF was declared cancer-free. 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

Pretty sure i’d keep the sunscreen in my eye too. ↓↓ 😄

I also ordered a Hoover carpet shampooer today. I saw that Ellie from Decorah was going to steam her carpets so I asked her about it. Because Nikki has peed in our bedroom three times and the carpet’s dirty and I hate having carpet cleaners come out they have this big tube that runs down the hallway and the carpets never that clean when they leave. It was on sale for $219 I get free shipping and I got $11 off with my Target red card So I use it twice and it’ll pay for itself.

When I was leaving my house to go on a walk, I saw cat about the size of Jade, it freaked me out as to how Jade got out? I called JJ, Kitty Kitty it stopped turned around and looked at me. It has yellow eyes and a full set of ears it wasn’t Jade but it gave me a scare really bad and the sinking feeling in my stomach😫 went on my walk came home got Jade outside for a bit started raining so back inside that’s my some what exciting afternoon

If its hot lots of times the air is to dry to storm its 69 here nice and refreshing. I really did freak out with the black cat, I yelled scared it and it started running through the back yard. Then stopped to look at me the eyes were the give away. I think Jade would come back to me, at least I think she would🤔 she at least knows where she lives😘

Good afternoon, finally I sat down. I left home at 8:00 and I went to the Dollar tree to buy the things I buy there. Then I drove up to the super Walmart not the new one by my house, because I wanted to go to their vision store because when we were shopping at Walmart one day in Brainerd we walked by the eyeglass place where JoAnn gets her eyeglasses and she wanted to go in and look at glasses which I really didn’t care to do. Mainly because when I go shopping I’m on a mission. I know… Read more »

Wow Ardy you had a lot to do, but glad you got the glasses you and JoAnn liked. I never bought 2 pair of glasses at the same time. I guess I am between you and JoAnn in shopping. Sometimes I just want to get it done, sometimes I like looking. I’m glad you finally got caught up on things and life can get somewhat back to normal.

I went to a really nice eyeglass place for about 40 years until the gals I liked were gone. The other workers didnt seem to take time with you adjusting your frames. So an Eyemart express opened up about a mile from us and I started going there. They are a very inexpensive place where they pop the lens in the same day and you pick him up an hour later. So because of that and my insurance I was able to buy two pair so I have been doing that the last three times I got glasses. So when… Read more »

lol I obviously miss out on a lot of things but it does save me money For example I ordered some tops from Christopher and Banks and JoAnn had this really cool necklace that she wore with this outfit she bought and then I copied her and bought it too about a month ago or so and she said she got it at Christopher and Banks online. now see she takes the time to look at the jewelry even though she doesn’t know she’s gonna buy it or not and me I just ordered the outfit and didn’t look any… Read more »

Watchman. We talked over an hour. In about 3 weeks? I forgot how long. They will put a scope down her throat. Somehow they can see the back of the heart and check to be sure the device is in place. She has to stay on the blood thinner for about 6 months and if all is well discontinue the blood thinner and just take a baby aspirin. She was mad about the tape they used over the groin incision. Said it looked like clear packing tape and had burned her and caused a lot of actual pain. She got… Read more »
