Interrupted during its meal…

This American goldfinch was sitting at the birdfeed for at least ten minutes happily pecking away at the seeds. After sometime, it got wind of the fact that somebody was watching. It looked back with a frown (you can see it in the eyes đŸ™‚ ) with a seed in its beak and spotted me with my camera trained on it. This was a nanosecond before it promptly flew away…

Perfect opportunity…

The plane took off southeasterly from Portland airport and then dipped south for a minute to then straighten up eastward wrapping around Mount Hood. And as it did that, there were a few incredible seconds where we were still under cloud cover to get a clear view of all the four peaks – Mount Hood in Oregon and Mount St.Helen, Mount Rainier and Mount Adams in Washington – all at once!!!

What bird is this?

Found this near a village called Raghudebpur (in Howrah district). This bird walks with a distinct style where the tail keeps bobbing up and down.
Does anybody know the name of this bird?

[Edited later: This is a white wagtail – “khonjona”]
