I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The bird is perched on the flower stalk of the Fire Flag plant a magnet when blossoming for small birds and Purple Gallinules which love to eat the blossoms. The when, where, and why is described in the Birds As Art Middle Florida Photography Guide which can be purchased in the Birds AS Art Online Store soon. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
