I thought this was cute with the Golden-crowned Sparrow looking suspiciously at the Mourning Dove, who had a friendly curious look about him.

An unusual image. I didn't know this sparrow would come to a feeder.

Cute, Allen.  I do like the interaction, but they're probably just commiserating with one another over the empty feeder.  Excellent job on the dof here.

Funny interaction Allen. They sure seem to be studying each other.
