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.
