They will overseed as well & grow quickly. If you want to try them I'll send you some seeds from my plants which have proven to be rather hardy.

Sure, I'd like that. How about a seed exchange? I have extra Rocky Mountain Penstemon, Palmer Penstemon, and Rocky Mountain Bee Plant seeds to share. I'll text you tomorrow.

Two Cooper's Hawks. Looks like an adult and a juvenile but I can't be sure from the resolution. Common predators of urban/suburban birds and their populations are growing while other bird populations are declining. I think Cooper's have taken all our woodpeckers this year. Not good for the forest.

You are correct. The other adult was about 20 feet down the fence. They made a nest in a tree across the street this year and hang out in my back yard.

That's neat. The young are often noisy and entertaining on the nest. Cooper's nest here in the mountains, too.

Can you see it ?
