This fledgling rufous hummingbird is clinging to the top vertical branch of a two-foot currant bush, July 2003. "Mater," as she came to be known, commandeered a portion of the back yard and used a tomato cage as her guard post, overlooking her favorite flower--zauschneria canum garrettii (orange carpet)--through mid-September, a week after our first snow.
