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.

Long day; Rick was in better shape than he was on Sat. There was chocolate cake on his tray and ordered milk to go with. He ate most of it. Did some of his PT; put is own socks on. It does make a difference having the correct medication. Vision test didn’t go well so he had to have another CT today. They were going to transfer to a regular room until this last CT, so he’s still in ICU. They sure do take good care of him there. Kitty said these are the best nurses she’s ever seen and… Read more »

Hi Pam progress is good. Putting on socks is good. So, he got wrong medication? I didn’t know that part. I hope it graduates soon to a regular room. Everyone will feel better then. Terrific he is getting good care, that means everything. What did Kitty do in the hospital?

Oh Pam, i’m so happy Rick is better. 💓 And it is so comforting, I bet, to have your sister there, too. I wonder why Rick is having eye problems? The hospital seems really good, though. I have to ask – what hospital is this again? Hang in there, sweet Pam. 😘

Yes but he was still going strong in 1977 when you were 24. I am not a music person but I loved him and his movie and concerts. I’m trying to remember. He may be the only famous person I’ve ever seen in a paid concert. I have paid a couple times for a tribute band.

It is a matter of preference. You are only 4 years younger than me. And you are still into music more than me. Just about everyone here is more into music than me. I never did much music listening. I don’t remember much of my childhood, but I know I didn’t listen to a lot of the music shows on tv, like the one Dick Clark did. I even couldn’t remember Dick’s name and was asking Jo just now. All I could think of was Pat Boone, then it popped into my head. I went outside, rather shoot baskets outside.… Read more »

I don’t understand how anyone can not like Elvis, I didn’t really get into him till I was older, but I had older brothers who really liked him from the start and they were teens at the time and of course still liked him as adults (again, how can you not)…and when the Beatles craze started I was all over that lol, I even collected the Beatles bubble gum cards

I had those Beatle cards. I had the Beatle Bobble heads too. If you read below you will know i was young when Elvis came out and i wasnt exposed to him….I never said I didnt like him and I am not saying you said that to me……I was introduced to him later in his life watching his movies.
After all I have a velvet Elvis in our livingroom on the wall.
