Well, I was considering doing something just like that, but didn't want to lose two finches, so I didn't even try. Maybe I should, just to see how it looks. Normally I wouldn't consider cloning anything out, but a few sticks?

No, I really can't take any credit for the dark intruder bird. That was the third of a bracketed set of three. I didn't see him coming, he was just there in the third frame. Mind you, I ~did~ see him as the camera fired and I certainly hoped that he'd be in the shot, but that was was there was pure serendipity.
