Utah penstemon (Plantaginaceae: Penstemon utahensis) inhabits dry areas of the southwestern US. The bright tubular flowers provide nectar for hummingbirds, who are the primary pollinators. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, 11 Apr 2014.

A hummingbird nest built on top of a bare branch which runs diagonally from upper left to lower right. The nest is comprised of white, cottony-looking material  and lichen. The female rub-throated hummingbird is sitting in it, looking to the left, with her tail sticking up on the right.

If you don't like hummingbirds, tune me out for the next week or so! I was lucky to be tipped off on the location of a ruby-throated hummingbird nest. I will be posting a series of shots taken over about two and half weeks, starting with this one of momma sitting in her nest on June 16th #birds

A small, vividly colored hummingbird with iridescent purple and blue feathers perches on a textured branch. Its head is dark, almost black, and it has a long bill and it's sticking its tongue out.
