Molting goldfinch

It was a lovely day and I never even got a swim.  I finally found where the heron has been perching up in the neighbor's pine tree.  Meanwhile, a red spotted purple posed on dogwood and cherry leaves.  

A Carolina wren took a bark butter ball.  A brown headed nuthatch checked out the barkbutter balls, then went to the seed feeder where it ejected a titmouse twice its size.  

Soon a white breasted nuthatch appeared, then a male goldfinch.  The goldfinch drank water out of the ant moat but ignored the seed feeder.  He was molting and looked disheveled.  When he finally left, a hummer swooped in.
