Shot these yesterday afternoon/evening. This is my backyard feeders, I have a seed-feeder and hummingbird feeder. This first shot is of a couple of Gold Finches, that decided to get their own sunflower seeds from the flower, instead of the feeder. What I found sort of surprising is this appeared to be an adult male feeding the juvenile male. However the juvenile is plenty old enough to fend for himself. I've seen him feeding at the feeders numerous times. So I kind of questioned why?

Next two are of the hummers, yep plural, 2 of them. Until yesterday I only had one visiting. A second one showed up, and not sure if they're friendly or confrontational. I think it's the latter. I think the hummers are so neat. While standing on my deck at my camera, I had both of them buzz me, flying straight at me. One went left, one went right, within a foot of my face.

Notice the distorted bottle on the feeder. Wife put the solution in while it was too warm. Well I have some shots where the distorted reflection seems to be messing with the hummer. I don't have those uploaded yet.

Here's a shot of him appearing to not like the distorted reflection. He done this numerous times around the feeder.
