I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The bird was feeding on Fire Flag blossoms, climbing the stalk. This behaviour and that of the Purple Gallinule are described in the Birds As Art Middle of Florida Photography Site Guide that will be available soon on Artie's Birds As Art Online Store. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
