Goldfinch Behavior

Here are some interesting shots from the BirdCam showing some American Goldfinch behavior at the feeders. I like finding the odd image out of the standard poses. Like this one which seems to show a female thinking, "I would REALLY like to get THAT seed waaaaaay down there!"

These birds drop in to the feeders so quickly it is hard to get any shots. If you watch them in the big picture of the whole backyard, they usually will simply drop out of the trees and onto a feeder. Every now and again they will come in from one feeder that is level with another.

Incoming!

Of course, there are always the domestic squabbles between these communal diners.

Fun to watch!
