Here are a few things I saw this week during a Second Look.
Blanket flower (Gaillardia) |
The bees are really enjoying the flowers (sage). |
Dead Nettle (Lamium m. Aureum) |
Day Lily (Stella dora) |
Piliated woodpecker. This is by far the most impressive woodpecker that visits our feeders. |
Once again, it's hard to make out much from this pile of baby sparrows, but they are continuing to mature. The pictures were taken a few days apart.
We have the same type of woodpecker in our area. Whenever I see one of them I think of Woody Woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteI should really go take a look around our yard. I've just been focusing on a few problem areas. Although, I did take time to cut some roses yesterday.
I also think of Woody Woodpecker and his cartoon cry when I see this kind of woodpecker. It doesn't come all of the time, so it's a thrill when it does show up.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the picture of a woodpecker! And a bee on this sage plant!
ReplyDeleteWe love watching the big woodpecker. The only problem is that he has a hearty appetite. We have to replace the suet almost everyday.
DeleteI love seeing the baby birds growing up :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a nest that I could get better pictures from. This nest is in a dark nest box. The sparrow parents don't seem to mind me looking at their offspring. However, the bluebird mother dive bombed me every time I opened the box to look at her young.
