Here is what I saw this week during a Second Look.

| The ever-faithful balloon flower (platycodon). |

| The hummingbirds sometime perch on the suet cage now instead of hovering all of the time around the feeder. Look how long the beak is on this one. |

| This dove was right outside the cats' favorite window causing them to be quite excited. |
 |
| Since last week, the last two wren eggs hatched and the chicks are starting to grow feathers. |
 |
| The butterflies are starting to increase in numbers. Notice the long proboscis on the skipper butterflies on this coneflower. |

We had coreopsis when we first moved here but they seem to have died out. Pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteYour baby birds are looking cuter. :)
This bed was the first place I tried coreopsis and it did so well, I planted it other places. None of those made it and I was very disappointed. It's supposed to be very easy to grow, but I guess that's only if it is in the right place. :(
