Jodi,this has been in our paper the last week or so and i forget to go look at it.I live in Oceanside,and i understand there are a couple more here. A couple of years ago one of our weekly columnists set up a camera on a hummingbirds nest outside his bathroom window,that was interesting as well. My #1 son when he was young hand raised an owl from a baby to an adult,also a hawk and a possum.We live on the edge of a canyon and there were always babies falling from the nests. Yes the humane society knew about it,and even saved mice for his owl,and found his possum a couple times when it got away,and returned them back to him free of charge.Both he and #2 son used to help out at the humane society back then,this was in the 60'early 70's before the HS got so uppity,and political.JMO Kathi

Is that statice, Jodi? I like it because it lasts so long. Carol, nice shot. Seagulls can be so annoying, yet there is something majestic and impressive about them. Maybe it's their size. Nothing so impressive from me. Our kitty Daisy has the oddest sleeping positions. Here's today's--that's her bed she's under.

Susan, the red is a big post on the wharf, I think it's a crane of some sort to haul nets and traps off fishing boats. The yellow is the railing of the wharf.

I can't for the life of me right now remember what these are called. They are on one of our walls in the front yard.
