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.

I have done it lots of times, Debbie. Just heat it — tastes the same to me. Husband has left his brewed coffee in coffee pot for days, turned off — still palatable. I won’t drink t that old, though.

I put coffee in the fridge for iced coffee. If I really was desperate I could take it out and heat it up in the microwave. Not a big deal to me

I never leave coffee in the cup, well almost never. I drink it. I don’t like coffee that has been left very long in the pot on the burner or warmer or whatever it is called. It begins to taste burnt. That happened at work, not at home.

I understand. I was never a big coffee drinker, as i preferred tea. But it always tasted the same, no matter the age, strength, temp, etc. Tea was a whole different story.

Hello!!!!!!!! I have been sort of busy with this and that this afternoon. I got three mail orders, one was a leather teal tote/purse by Cole Haan. It was used. I am not familiar with the name but the purse is leather and his purses start at $220 so I got a good deal. I love purses and have too many 😁
Our Cox cable is now Spectrum I found out today…..hope we like it.
Rick made coleslaw…this red pepper is as big as the head of cabbage.

I ate other leftovers for lunch but in just a few minutes I will get inessential! I may have to freeze some of the Chinese because I bought a lot. It was a by the pound buffet if you do takeout, or all you can eat if you eat in for one meal.

Football? Happy birthday Rick. You order a lot, it may pay off to have Prime. But I know that shipping is not always “free” with Prime. Some of their items are higher than others, but overall I think I at least break even, or maybe better. I know I did really well with my Breville ovens. I got a good deal on both the price and free shipping. Shipping had to be expensive. The box weighed 47 lbs. I like Amazon for two reasons. If you are searching for anything, you can get a large number of choices all on… Read more »

Cleaned and filled hummer feeder and I found a monarch caterpillar on my milkweed its a newly hatched one I checked yesterday and missed the egg. Its easy to find a little caterpillar because when it hatched it eats its egg shell and also eats a small circle around the spot where the egg was this is its first taste of milkweed, the egg is the size of a poppy seed and that’s how tiny the caterpillars are
