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 Bella Buds. We have a beautiful day, nice temps and humidity. I need to do a little cooking, probably some corn and pork chops, the kitchen floor needs cleaning. I’ll probably talk to Nancy later on, so if suddenly I’m AWOL that might be it. Pam, hope the day goes as well as possible, hugs. Wishing all the best day possible.

I’m off to my office to do lots of stuff. Will be incognito for a while. Lots of paperwork. Be back in a while. Have a good day, everyone. 🥰
P.S.: almost all of my posts from this morning have disappeared. I’m going to sign off and back on and hopefully they have returned. Then I’m off to the office.

My mom did on the basement. That is why Mike and Linda bought it, she was a hairdresser.

Thank you for the extra pictures! How nice for a hairdresser. And drying chairs too! I have just never heard of that. It makes sense, though. Is that your Mama?

My mother was a hair stylist before she married my dad. My dad was tight with his money he’d spend it on new cars but he didn’t want to spend it on the House or her clothes so she went to work so she had her own money to fix up the house even though she still continued to sew and she would redesign coats from year to year to make them in style

August 24, 2026 9:14 am

Nice that your Mom was already self-suffficient. Weird how men were like that! My entire family married young. 16 to 18. In Alabama. That’s just how it was done then. I was supposed to be a secretary if I didn’t marry right away. 😅

She always wore a uniform when she worked, like in the first photo. I think mom and dad were going dancing after she finished fixing Linda’s hair for prom.

Are both sets of pictures here when your parents still owned the house? And the link the pictures of the house recently. So Mike and Linda were the only owners since your parents moved to Tucson?
A room was build onto the house by Mike and Linda?

You can tell they were taken at different years because the tree in the front was very small in the one picture and in the lighter picture you can see the tree was huge in the front yard

Who is that sexy young woman? I know the feeling of seeing the difference in the house you grew up in and how it changed with new owners. A few years after we sold my parents house we got an opportunity to go inside. We had taken Mom for something in Nashville and Nancy was with us. That was rare because usually just one of us took Mom to her appointments. We both usually drove Mom to her neighborhood. The street was busy so we pulled into the driveway, close to the street. I can’t remember if the owners saw… Read more »
