Title: Hummingbird Attacks Goldfinch Post by: valhalla on 16-Aug-09, 07:42:44 PM No pictures. I was outside on the front porch cleaning the bird poop off the railing when I saw a hummingbird go after a male goldfinch! Back and forth to the trees and the house! The goldfinch was dodging, and the hummer was in hot pursuit. Suspect a nest in the trees across the road. This was one of the neatest things that I've seen in a long time. Don't know who won, but I suspect that these two little ones couldn't maintain that hot pace for too long.
