The First Yellow Swallowtail

June 17th, 2008

This morning while weeding I noticed the first monarch (oops it’s a yellow swallowtail, thanks for correcting me mom!) of the season. They sure do like the echinacea. I really need to plant a few more flowers for them.

Hummingbirds

June 17th, 2008

We have a few hummingbirds that come back each year. Last year we put up a small feeder on the kitchen window, our cats love to sit in the windowsill waiting for the hummingbirds to come. I’m hoping to plant a few more flowers for them in coming years. They sure are hard to get a photo of, I managed to get this one yesterday, maybe I can get the ruby-throated one as well!
