Perhaps they got the message and learned how to use the feeder finally, since it has been quiet so far today. Hubby was pretty close and could see all the drama. (I was inside the window watching The Artful Detective.) 3 birds with flapping begging wing behaviors, and one lone female who was being mobbed with the endless peeping.
The first recording here, was similar to yesterday's calls:

Hi mrsD,
Lol! The goldfinch family had to be fascinating!
. Noisy, too!
.
Thanks for sharing your/your husband's observations and the sounds of the birds. I enjoy this thread immensely.
The picture of the hummingbird on the feeder is also fascinating!
.
I am lucky to have birds singing morning and evening here.
.
When I am elsewhere, I miss hearing/watching the birds so much!
Thanks again, mrsD, for sharing so much in this thread!
With Admiration and Gratitude,
DejaVu
