Good cinematography. The up & down flight of the finch may help it from being caught by predators, same w/ Woodpeckers as they have a similar style of flight. We miss seeing the 20 some goldfinches we used to have, as they may move around in proceeding generations. We enjoy the wildlife and feed them year round, as they're quite entertaining. On a recent visit by a hawk, everyone hid, but a hummingbird was hovering over the hawk knowing it coudn't be caught trying to chase it off.

Thank You - I never thought about the up and down flight as being strategic, but now you mention it; that makes so much sense. It was interesting about how the hummingbird could hover above the hawk. Watching nature really can throw up some surprises from time to time... Hope your goldfinches return for you again soon.

I love birds. Just bought a new feeder today. I live in the city now, I used to live in the country. I had two seed feeders, two hummers feeders, four birdhouses. Nice job!

I have seen finches around my house too!! I was wondering why they are here I have never seen them it is so odd thanks for the wonderful video!

I used to not be able to tell one bird from another. But I had a girlfriend who got me interested in casual birdwatching. Now it is something I truly enjoy. I rarely use binoculars and I can usually ID the common ones in my area. I don't ever set out to watch them, but notice them when I'm hiking or going to and from work and whatnot.

It's very simple, it's about appreciating nature. It's not a movie about killing or abuse, it's just nature at it's best, try to enjoy it, you may learn to love it too. :)
