Five birds in for chow this evening, one of which is the bully. He never did eat; all he seemed to want to do was hassle the others, who really just wanted a good meal, which they didn't get. This guy chased around strutting and really got after the others, which eventually gave it up and flew up into the trees to feast on buds instead. One tried to ignore him while he sat for a rest after feeding, but it didn't work as the aggressive one sat there egging him to "c'mon down here and fight!" The strutter never ate a sunflower seed and eventually went up into a tree to feed. Go figure. Boys, eh? He's only 4ft away from me in the closest shot through the window and didn't pay a lick of attention to me. Too bad it's a bit dark for photos. This little show sure makes the end of my day.
