Managed to get a couple shots of gold finches in flight as they left the small puddles where they had been bathing and drinking. I was able to use my van as a blind about 12 feet from the puddle. Twice I almost had finches inside the van.

Excellent action but I wish there was a little more separation of the birds but not much you could do about that. The rocky/dirt BG doesn't make a nice setting but not much you could do about that either.
