rufous hummingbirds

[qrs2 at email dot byu dot edu]

I hiked the Nebo bench trail Saturday starting from the parking lot just
before you come to the Nebo lookout point (if you are coming from Payson).
The trail heads through tons of wildflowers on the North south slope of
Mt. Nebo.  I was surprised to see myriads of rufous hummingbirds darting
back and forth out among the wildflowers.  There was also at least one
other species of hummingbird but I didn't get a chance to ID it since our
main objective was to reach the summit of Nebo.  There were also several
other neat little birds that I would have liked to get my glasses on.

Cheers,
Quinn Shurtliff
