Meanie!

Male Goldfinch in mating plumage biting female.

Male Goldfinches are notoriously feisty during mating season. And I’ve photographed battles between males over feeder rights, several times, but…

Never did I see any evidence of contact…

UNTIL NOW!

Not only is this male nipping the other bird, and knocking his neighbor off the feeder…

Unaccountably, he’s doing it to a female!

Lot of bad behavior among men this year. Even tiny ones.
