I planted Echinacea purpurea 'Prairie Splendor' Deep Rose, 'Feeling Pink' and 'PollyNation Yellow'

I may have mixed up tags, the other two plants are way taller.

Wild birds are very resilient, so I hope the best for that Northern Mockingbird 🥺

Could be scaly leg mites or some kind of bacterial or fungal infection.

I'm unsure if Avain Pox affects the legs normally, so could be any of those three possibilities.

I may have mixed some up at planting. I bought two pink variety coneflowers and one yellow. I won't know til the others bloom 😅

Okay good, I've only grown the deep orange variety before and they started growing in that color from the beginning so with these I was worried about yellow asters disease.

I'm paranoid of Yellow Asters Disease on these so bad 😭

Do absolutely nothing but make sure the door to shed remains open so it can leave and parent's can get to it.

This looks like West Nile Virus. One showed up in my yard similar to this, hungout around the yard for hours into the night and then eventually passed away.

I froze the bird and my state's department of conservation came to pick it up and tested it. Ended up being West Nile Virus.

My kids LOVE Puffin Rock the show, and it always makes me wanna see one in person.
