American Goldfinches and Buzzards

The American Goldfinch is a fun little bird.  When he flies, he "bounces."  They're very acrobatic.  Their feathers are brightest in color in the Spring.  I wish the feeder would hold still, but the birds seem to think it's their very own playground and they to enjoy it.  Makes for difficult picture taking though...

We've seen buzzards drying out their wings on wet, dewy mornings before.  It's always fascinating to us to see them just sitting there, stock still, waiting for the sun and breeze to dry their wings before they try to take flight for the day.
