These beauties are common to our south in so. Arizona but extend a narrow breeding range into southern NV. This individual is part of small breeding neighborhood colony. It is perched on a saguaro cactus whose flowers provide a needed food source.The bright blue eye liner and the red feet indicate heavy breeding activity.
