[Tweeters] Kent Lesser Goldfinches

[MARVIN BREECE via Tweeters]

Today I observed a pair of LESSER GOLDFINCHES at 204th Street and Frager Road in Kent.  The female appeared to be working on a Bushtit nest.  After watching for a few minutes it became apparent that she was not adding to the nest.  Rather, she was "borrowing" nesting material.

And here is the pair in a tree, the male probably foraging and the female robbing nesting material from a bushtit nest.. - https://www.flickr.com/gp/138163614@N02/54y0a5uAA9
