3 goldfinches at once! no interference by song sparrow on the ground

Fun!  I love having multiple birds in the yard at the same time.  I can pretend for a moment like I'm one of those amazing You Tubers who have 24/7 cams of their bird feeders that 24/7 have crazy amount of birds at them.

Anyway, first the male flew in, and called.  A few minutes later the female arrived.  Then a few minutes later, a third goldfinch!  Either there were two females, or maybe one of the females was a juvenile.  One of them ate a bit from the mixed seed feeder, using a perch.

One flew away after a couple of minutes, the other two stayed around for a bit longer.

A song sparrow had been on the ground the whole time, never interfered.  Maybe it's only the males who are bullies, or females.
