[Maine-birds] purple finch display, Webber Pond, Bremen

this morning, one of the two purple finch males who come to my feeders was balanced on the roof of the platform feeder.  He began flapping his wings--at first slowly and then more and more quickly until the motion was a blur--then he rose above the feeder standing in the air until he and the female purple finch suddenly dove together and then zoomed out of sight
 in the oak trees--the whole display was beautiful and amazing--I can't get over the blur of his wing motion!
