Goldfinches Drinking

More of a blur of feathers in large.
(Here is another in-flight shot)

I love watching the birds drinking and washing in the gutter near my window... The goldfinches visit often in their family groups, and it was also visited by a blackbird, a sparrow, and starlings in the brief time that I watched it in the middle of the afternoon. I was tempted to blip this starling because it looked splendid after a good wash.

I've uploaded a handful of other photos to Flickr (right from this magpie in flight).
