The flower features of this Tillandsia ionantha’s blossoms were a giveaway to me that one or more of the resident hummingbirds would visit it if I waited and watched. This male Anna’s (Calypte anna) didn’t disappoint.

Refuge
I’ve taken to checking the bromeliads for Baja California tree frogs (Pseudacris hypochondriaca) and am often rewarded with an adorable sight. Queen’s tears (Billbergia nutans) seems to be a favorite. I’ve also found them under the spines of cacti multiple times…there are many options around here for hiding from predators and strong sunlight.
