[obol] Birdbath face-off

[Alan Contreras]

A curious duel in the yard this afternoon: female Anna's hummer vs. Lesser
Goldfinch.  The finch did not want the Anna's at the birdbath and even did
an open-bill face-off at the hummer a few times (the hummer likes to fly in
and belly dip under the drip).

After the finch was done and the hummer had access to the dripper, it
instead went up and made multiple in-yo-face passes at the finch, which was
wet and trying to preen.  My translation of the message: two can play at
this game, buster.
