Just because I'm smaller than you...

Pretty quiet couple of days at the feeders, heavy rain yesterday morning and I was mostly absent.

A couple of Goldfinch has started to appear at the Nyger feeder. Unlike the other species they tend to just sit quietly and eat while others bounce all around them.
Fewer House Finches seen today.

Late in the day, a White-breasted Nuthatch   fed at the large feeder (combination of small seed and Nyger). It was distributing seeds all over the place as it picked through the different seeds until it found a suitable one (whatever criteria that was). At one point a Mourning Dove was on the rail above it and it started some strange posturing, swaying from side-to-side,  with partially open wings
