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 didn’t see anything wrong with your picture at all. And I didn’t see anything wrong with your posting about the eagle either. Are you going to write to them when you get back and ask them what the problem was? What was their rule at the bottom that you could read?

how did they send the message? this is what I found…

What to Do if Facebook Sends a Message to Change Your Profile PictureIf you see a Facebook message — in Messenger, email, or on your phone — asking you to change your profile picture, it could be a scam or account compromise. Facebook itself will never send unsolicited requests to change your profile image, so this is a red flag.

Fixing a “Not Recommended” Facebook Profile or Page StatusIf Facebook says your profile or page is no longer recommended to others, it means your content or account has fallen below the platform’s algorithmic thresholds for visibility. This can happen for several reasons, and the fix depends on whether it’s a personal profile or a business page.

if you do this it should tell you why you are restricted

Check Your Account StatusOpen Facebook, go to Settings & privacy, then Settings, and select Account Status. This page lists active restrictions, the specific policy involved, and which features are limited, such as posting, commenting, messaging, ads, or group activity.
If the restriction has an end date, you’ll see how long it lasts and whether any action is required to restore access sooner. When this page shows no active issues, the restriction has already expired or been lifted.

Well we had an exciting morning, if you want to call it that. I heard Rick get up around 11a; i could hear him behind me doing his routine. The next thing i heard was a small crash; he had fallen and couldn’t get up. I was screaming for Chuck to help me get him up. After getting him to the sofa, i called 9-1-1; Five EMTs were here in about 3 mins. We think he had a mini-stroke/TIA; 3 EMTs were talking to him; he couldn’t remember his name — that’s what almost sent me over the edge. Here… Read more »

He’s still in the hospital; but whining to come home 😏 Chuck’s there, so we’ll find out pretty soon, i would think. And yes, i was terrified after i caught my breath.

Pam, I would be in a panic, so Rick is home now? Did he jurt himself falling? Its good he’s getting to move his arms and legs and his age. Remember never move someone who falls call emt’s right away pillow under head , you don’t know if there’s a injury, I learned that from my Dads fall. I’m wishing for Rick healing wishes and full recovery😘I’m hugging you Pam

he knew he was on the floor, he couldn’t get his right leg underneath him. When we got the walker in front of him, the right leg wouldn’t move. Chuck had him from the back and i was steadying the walker from the front.

Smart using the walker you got him up easy, sounds like he didn’t loose consiousness and if he did it wasn’t long he was aware

One of the times the EMT’S got me up it was a man and woman. The man put his arms under my arm pits. The woman took my hand. They simultaneously lifted\pulled and I popped up. I was really heavy then.

Oh no Pam. How far away is the hospital? I’m so sorry this happened to Rick. Is he on a blood thinner? He is where he needs to be. He can be monitored and observed, if he has another whatever it is they can immediately administer medicine. Tell him to shut up and be have or Big Sis is gonna jerk a knot in his tail. Say it real mean. None of us want to be in the hospital, but it is in his best interest to stay there as long as they will keep him.

Hi Debbie, No blood-thinners; hospital’s only about 10miles away in LaJunta. i hope they keep him overnight; neither Chuck nor I will get any sleep if they release him. 🙄

They won’t release him if you request he stay. More than likely they think he should stay. You and Chuck need to both tell him to stay. That is what is best for him. I was IN THE HOSPITAL. Still coded twice. If I had gone home I would have died August 29, 2023. Twice, if that is possible. Tell him that story and that I have two stroke spots in my brain to go with each code. Be sure they have a heart monitor on him. I did not have one. If I had, they probably would not had… Read more »

Hi Karen. Not so much for me. I was out of it. But I had some very vivid dreams. I really think the dreams were out of some of the things going on around me. I still remember the dreams and they were long and detailed. They say dreams last as long as it would take if a movie was showing an experience.

I have changed my mind …..we will not get to Eutin before 5:30 and then pizza with her brother and bar at 8:00 with friends. So we were going to go to the Spam museum in the morning and try to leave for Aitkin at a decent time to avoid rush hour in the Twin cities….5 hour drive.

I’m going to pick up a prescription and Kroger order. I have washed all the refrigerator drawers and will finish when I get home. I’m tired already. I next need to clean the shelves and door bins. I asked Jo to at least clean the very bottom of the fridge inside because it is hard for me to bend down for long. That is why I couldn’t load the smallest mobility scooter.

Did you know the Canadian fires are all their fault for not properly managing the forests? I guess that is why we put more tariffs on them? 🍊. It is hurting KY, they won’t buy our bourbon. I guess it is the US’s fault then, that we have had fires in CA, CO. Did Texas have fires or was that just flood?
