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.

We had rain overnight and lots of lightning i guess. Rick sat outside and watched it. So right now it is cooler so I walked this morning.

Good morning Ardy. It is so pleasant to sit outside watching the rain, but better watch that lightning!
I bet later on we will hear I cleaned this, I did that, I baked something. I know you will wind up doing plenty. At least you won’t be saying I gotta do this!

Hello…I didn’t do that much today, read a lot, mostly on the porch. I didn’t sleep well, bug bites kept me awake, happens often in the summer..bought some more anti itch cream today, it helps some but I have to reapply it often. We went out to eat tonight, I got a feta omelet and hash browns.

Picardin may help. It is the safest repellant on the market. Your pets would have to ingest I think quite a bit of it. Fumes or such won’t hurt them. Really there would be no risk if applied to areas of the skin under clothing. I think chiggers love dark areas under clothes and those areas can cause the most discomfort.

that’s the Avon stuff, I sell it and use it.

It has Picardin in it? That is good! I doubt if your dogs even want to lick it. I would speculate it would take a lot to make them sick.

Full enough. The old Debbie would probably eat a third piece. This Debbie may decide to have some watermelon
