carpingdiem, 
We had a our first real freeze last night and this morning the young American goldfinches couldn't understand why the water was so hard. I restored normality by putting liquid water in the birdbath. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #naturephotography #goldfinches
I spotted this tailless goldfinch (right) trying to access the feeder. Its feathers were a mess, as if it had just been mauled by a predator. The other birds were very mean to it and drove it away from the feeder. It did not return.
On a cold day like today, lots of birds are at the feeder and competition is fierce. At the top of the feeder, two goldfinches vie for the right to wait for the next opening.
Normality restored. Liquid water is in the birdbath so birds can drink. The goldfinch says, "Good job, human."
