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 Afternoon/Evening!! I am now watching the US Gymnastics on Peacock. Thanks, Julie, for letting us know this was on! I saw the info about Caitlin. She is always getting the raw end of the deal. I heard that when she spoke with President Obama at some point, he told her to just ignore the riff raff and be the beautiful person you are. Debbie, those items from the farmer’s market look so GOOD and delicious! Especially the okra! And the mix you bought using Greek yogurt will probably be delicious. Greek yogurt is so healthy. I used it in… Read more »

Hi Karen. Enjoy the gymnastics. I enjoy watching them. It is really my favorite Olympic sport.
‘This is the first okra I’ve bought this year. No one has had it. I didn’t buy any yogurt mix. I did buy plain Greek yogurt at Walmart, the brand that starts with C.
I’m glad Shadow is not taking a mate now, but I’m also glad he isn’t chasing the new female away.

Same here on Shadow.

I used to love the way they felt, kind of velvety. And then they were so easy to chop up. And fry with onions!

Great news on Pam’s party😍Jackie was on the national news tonight or rather the rehab she’s at people won’t stop calling there and are also calling the vets at their homes – people need to stop harrassing the Ojai Raptor Center and the doctors and staff there, calling them at home is stalking and your breaking the law

I know, it is getting bad. They’ve given an address for encouraging cards, etc, but are really asking folks to “leave them alone so they can do their jobs.” They should enlist a volunteer who will answer and screen calls. I would do it for free.

Fever did it! Go Fever. That technical on Caitlyn was unfair. She did nothing intentionally for sure. And the dang referee could have got out of the way. The referee could have caused Caitlyn to fall,

Those funny looking white things are some kind of mushrooms. He said they are like a meat substitute. Like if you cooked them in a sauce like bbq wings you would think them real wings. Cooked, they shred like meat. Or you can coat them and just fry them in a skillet. I’ll probably try cooking them like I cook my roasted veggies in my little oven.

Are the mushrooms in the basket? Or are those potatoes? Or are they the white things on the countertop, near the mix in the packets? Inquiring minds want to know!

All right ladies 😏 As for Tuesday; I shall be dancin’ nekkid in the kitchen and as long as I don’t do anything stoopid, such as climbing on a ladder or step-stool, i think i can survive for 24 hours by myself. 😄
p.s. i’ll keep the cell near so i can call the neighbors if i do anything too dumb 🙄 i’ll keep the chat open 😉

That all works Pam! Especially the dancing naked part. But smart to have a phone in a pocket . Heaven forbid, but if you fell and broke something you might not be able to get it off a counter top right there. You can usually manage to get something out of a pocket. I just thought, you had really better be careful dancing naked.
