Gold Rush

The goldfinch broods chatter, gossip and push for food, constantly stalking the parents with their high pitched tweets.

Bags of sunflower hearts are being gorged on with the feeder being emptied at alarming rates. Perhaps I should have said at astounding rates as every bird in the district is rocking up at the  diner at some time or another with the squirrels too not worried about social distancing, bounding up the poles scattering the smaller birds in every direction with a flurry of wings. 

Taken through the window in the rain today as it's been a bit miserable.
