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 morning Lynn. Glad you made it to the stores last night. What is the name of that farm store, I would like to look at it just for fun. They seem to carry a lot of stuff. Cracker Barrel has always had a good breakfast.

Good morning! I don’t have much news It’s only 9:30. I did go for a walk it was kinda nice at that time but now it’s hot already 86 degrees. I did apply color street nails took a shower and that’s about it for the rest of the day.

I forgot to tell you that Rick just took my car to the $2 do-it-yourself car wash It has needed to be washed for weeks. I’m very spoiled he takes it for me. I have done it in the driveway before but I pay for it with my back so it really isn’t worth it but I do a much better job

Thats very nice of Rick to help you out😍 when I was a kid many moons ago😂 I loved washing my parents car on a hot day playing with the water cooling off it was a good summer thing to do. I also waxed the car too remember the Turtle wax? it was a lot of work rub it in and buff it off

I finally got rid of my electric buffer. My days of car washing were over a long time ago. I might manage the car wash with the sprayer but even that would be a challenge.

I imagine this is the type of car wash with the hand help sprayer. My philosophy is get it clean enough to keep grit from deteriorating the paint or gunk causing rust. It really takes it just a short time to be back to dirty anyway. Wax is more important than anything because it protects. Yes, you need to protect your back and Rick does spoil you. Bet he missed you while you were in MN.

Good morning Sunshine and happy day to you. Enjoy your shopping with Judy. Hi Miss Julie. Buy something good at Aldie’s, no telling what you will find. Can you usually find everything you want in this store? Don’t forget your bags. I’m notorious for doing that! I’ve been taking cooler style bags when I go to the grocery, I am less apt to forget them because I need them regardless of the store. But I only need regular bags at Aldie’s. Have fun. Enjoy watching the Monarch flitter away.

I don’t try to avoid impulse buying. Some of the best things are things I luck up on in the grocery, didn’t even know they existed.

Good morning Bella Buds. Beautiful morning. If you hear of bad weather coming in KY, it more than likely is missing us. We might get some rain and be hot, but not anything bad. No posts yet this morning. Have a good start to your day.

Good night Deb, Pam, Becki if still here, and good night to all peepers. Pam I’m still think of Rick, praying for the best., and for your Dad too Julie. I hope both Rick and Dad can soon be closer to home in the two nursing homes, and that leads to real home. They are both always in my thoughts and best wishes. Y’all all have a good night, love and peace within.

Karen I saw your PM and tried to respond and things froze up on me. I had to shut down, then log in again. It is bedtime anyway, so I am going to say good night. Hope you can get some night time sleep tonight. Love and see you tomorrow.
