The fiery Red-Hot Poker Plant attracts a lot of traffic. Everything, from Cedar Waxwings and Orioles to Hummingbirds and insects of all varieties, takes advantage of this rich source of nectar and pollen. Here a male Rufous Hummingbird has had his meal interrupted by a pushy Bee. He leaves a trail of nectar as he backs off to wait for another turn.
