Spring in the Wasatch Mountains

When I am in the mountains I hear the birds singing but often I don't see them. Occasionally, only one of them showing up on a shrub or tree. The colorful small bird below decided to perform a solo on the dead tree, her song was short but beautiful.



The Lazuli Bunting.




Everything in the mountains is awaking slowly. Nature is never in a hurry.




Western Scrub-Jay.




The Muscary are still colorful and fresh.





Near a rocky trail the Cyclamen is in a full bloom

Mountains are an unknown territory for me in a sense that there are birds I have never seen before.

    1. Blue flowers could be Muscari and purple must be Cyclamen ...

    2. Cão, you are Encyclopedia! That is a Passerina amoena/Luzuli Bunting. You are correct!
      Thank you very, very much! And a special thank you for helping to identify flowers 😌

  4. My first guess would have been a bluebird, but after comparing some photographs, my vote also would go to the lazuli bunting. Nice blend of bird and plant photographs, Kaya.

  7. Kaya, my friend, those photos of yours are truly beautiful, I love watching the birds outside my window, seeing the beauty of flowers and smelling their fragrance.

    I believe there is much one can learn from nature.

    When one hurries in life, I believe it's harder to concentrate, as well as causing one stress.

  16. first off that western scrub jay photo is amazing. Love the blooms. I use to have lazuli bunting birds visit my yard when I lived down the mountain. I have seen one in years - so it's great to see you have them in your area.

  17. Hermosa naturaleza en plenitud la que nos muestras en tus fotografías. Ese pajarillo de la primera foto entonando su canto con fuerza es todo un símbolo de vida.
    Un abrazo y salud.
