Saturday, May 18, 2024, 5:56 am — Three male Evening Grosbeaks … peacefully share black oil sunflower seeds … keeping required space between them …
Until a fourth tries to join in … territoriality springs into action … it’s fought off with a flurry of wings …
Amicable dining … as long as there are only three …
Harmony is distrupted when interloping diners show up …
2:37 pm … The lunchtime Grosbeak crowd has swelled … a wise female on top of the feeder stays out of the fray that will soon develop below …
She’s so funny, strutting about … as the three amigos below are none the wiser …
Here we go … a fourth intruder is being shown the door …
Let the hubbub begin! …
