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.

Thank you so much, sweet Debbie. I’m sorry it’s taking me a while to get back to you, I was going to post after I sat down but I couldn’t make it. Fell asleep. I posted the outcome of everything in a different post, after i woke up. 😘.

Went to 2 appts. The 1st was just a CT scan of my right shoulder. The other was just checking my lungs. I have a nodule that requires checking.

A nodule in your lung? Is that shoulder the one with, I forgot the real word but means dead bone? I hope the nodule is nothing and the shoulder can be fixed.

No, the nodule was discovered when I had pneumonia in 2008. Just have to check on them every 2 years. The shoulder has the dead bones.

The lung 18 years ago. It is good they keep check they will know if it changes. Probably unlikely. I know this shoulder is hard on you. I guess the surgery requires a prosthetic sorta like a knee or hip replacement?

Yes, I don t know to what extent yet, but i guess people get them all the time. Like a rotator cuff surgery. Still scary for me, but i have to do something. How are you doing?

I don’t think for a rotary cuff they put artificial stuff in there? Mostly stitch stuff up? I guess I should google it. So theCT was shoulder. How do they check the lung? Seems it would need an X-ray, ultrasound or CT to see the nodule.
I’m doing really good Karen. A lot better than when I got out of the hospital.

Going for a walk see you in a bit, well for some reason this didn’t post I’m back from my walk went to Burger King I have some coupons to use😋 I tried to sit on the back steps but the hornets are getting scary so I got some spray and sprayed them. There was just a few before but now its turned into a full on nest between my steps and the side of the house so I sprayed the space between the steps and the house. I had some hornets hit me in the head but no one… Read more »

Hi julie
Yellowjackets are wasps. Hornets look similar in color.
They dont bite you with venom, but they have stingers with venom gland.
Should have someone professional remove the nest. Spray will not really work against a nest, but make them go wild maybe. Take care !
