RUFOUS FLEDGLING

            A female Rufous Hummingbird fledgling is attracted to a Red Hot Poker Torch Lily. 
I notice it's normally only the fledglings that are very attracted to and quite often feeding from the Poker Plant flowers, despite the feeder being only a few feet away. 
If you look closely you will even notice a couple of bees on the Torch Lily. 
I counted twenty three flowers on the plant this year, so lots for the little Hummers to enjoy!
