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 order from them enough that I believe free shipping pays for the cost. Plus you get your order much faster than anyone else. But of course it depends on how much you order. I have ordered a lot of things elsewhere where the shipping was more than the cost of the item.

Good day!!! Rick and I met Zura and Fred in South Tucson for lunch. Their portions are always huge, I ordered a combo plate, two hamburger Pattie tacos, that came with rice and refired beans. I only ate one taco, some beans and no red rice. Zura ordered us fried ice cream for Rick’s birthday and one for her husband!!!! OMG! It was HUGE!!!! Then we stopped at the Boondocks for one and came home…..I just cant eat Mexican food like I used too…..the red sauce is coming back to haunt me ….plus I am so full I am miserable… Read more »

I gave Rick that card because their is a Japanese on the card.
The ice cream had a weird coating on it with oats in it which I didnt care for.

KyDebbie
August 22, 2026 6:17 pm

Maybe that is the real Mexican style? We used to get fried ice cream at Chi Chi’s. It had a cookie like crunchy coating.

Maybe……it was like a crumble of some sort. The oats were a weird texture.

Back from my visit with Rick. Chuck brought him a bowl of cut up cantaloupe/watermelon, he ate all that at 11am then i brought him a PB&J at 3p & he ate all that with a glass of milk. That room is so hot, i felt as tho’ i was boiling from the inside out; my face was bright red. Got home and took a Very Cool shower. Even Rick, who is usually cold, kept mentioning the heat; but he wouldn’t let me turn on the A/C. 🙄 I put my travel fan in a bag for Chuck to take… Read more »

Rick is eating good. Y’all are taking good care of him. Surprised he likes it that hot especially no circulating air. The fan should help Chuck.

Pam, I’m glad to hear Rick is enjoying the food y’all are bringing. That’s too bad about the heat, though. Scary that you got that hot. 😲 The fan is a great idea. Do they have mini portable a/c’s out yet? I heard at one point that they were working on them.

Yes but if I am well below sometimes it still takes awhile. I’ve had some replies more than a day ago. It really takes as long as the bar on a pc. You can hold the mouse button down and it moves just as fast as my fingers on a touch screen.

No not on this iPad. But usually I see the green key that says jump to newest comments if I have navigated to a different page. That is a new update feature. It takes me quickly to the very top. I used to have a hard time getting back to the top. Karen did too.

Karen did you see my good morning post today? It is way below now. I explained why I left chat abruptly. I felt very bad last night when I came back to chat and you had JUST, by probably less than a minute, said good night. I wanted to explain because I knew I left you hanging. I’m so sorry but it was for a good reason.

Hi Debbie. 😘 I did just read it. I read from top to bottom tonight, since it’s getting so late. I was falling asleep last night, watching the game and relaxing. So I just did a quick goodnight. I thought everyone was watching the game or were already signed off, due to the hour, so i wasn’t concerned about the lack of activity. I just had to do something before I crashed. 🙂 I’m so sorry to hear about your friend Nancy’s circumstances. The poor lady. I don’t know how she handles it. Of course you needed to talk to… Read more »

Thanks Karen I worried about it last night, and I still worried this morning. I did make a post after we talked one hour 20 minutes, but we talked 2 hours before it was over. I got to bed late, to sleep late, and up this morning more than an hour late.
