I just watched a House Finch displaying for a lady. They were both on the edge of the birdbath. He was talking away. He'd bow and flutter his wings, raise his tail up high. She didn't act too impressed and slipped off the birdbath. Another male came along and they went at it fluttering straight up. Very cool to watch.
The male RB Grosbeak just showed up at his usual hopper feeder though he fed on the ground with the WC Sparrows. Both the Tree and Barn Swallows are zooming about the yard catching bugs.
