Peaceful feeding among friends: American Goldfinch, Purple Finch, Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch...
More peacefulness, this time just the finches...
Trouble comes on the scene - this Tree Sparrow is not fond of sharing the feeder with others.
"Scram, you!"
This poor female Northern Cardinal takes an earful from the sparrow as the goldfinch looks on. Doesn't the cardinal look kind of dazed?
Sparrow gives the stink eye to Chickadee-dee-dee.
"No landing here!"

Well, I'm glad somebody finally put that little pipsqueek in her place!
Very cute! :)
Oh and how funny - my veri word is "militing"!
Oh my gosh.....hysterical!!!
Great series, Heather! I never knew tree sparrows were so brazen.
Great stuff! He was an angry boy.
Better than tv!
These photos are sooo fun :) Sparrows are just like this: fast, loud and always get the biggest piece of food. I like them very much.
Love all these photos Heather!! So funny.
These are wonderful images. The photo of the Northern Cardinal getting an earful from the sparrow is priceless. That little sparrow is comical.
Phyllis - Guess the size of the dove really was intimidating to the sparrow!
Kelly - Yup!
Gabrielle - I think the fight for food will make any birdy get a little bit cranky.
Richard - Angry indeed!
Karen - That's for sure!
Aluajala - I see that you like your birds spunky!
Ginny - I knew you'd get a kick out of these. I wonder what your Ricky would do if he were confronted by such a feisty sparrow?
Erica - Yes, that one of the Cardinal just staring off into space while getting "yelled at" is one of my favorites.
Wow, they do get a little testy, don't they?
Good photography, though.
Totally love these bird shots Heather. Keep shooting them. Carol
Sandy - Yes, they do. I always wonder what happens to set them off like this.
Carol - Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them!
