Mine was trying to put his beak in the opennings. I;m not sure if he actually was able to drink anything. I’m located in Pennsylvania, so its not the same bird

Just saw a Rufous male this morning in our backyard. We
live about 1 1/2 miles east of Clackamas Town Center. This is
the first Rufous we’ve ever seen with perhaps the exception of a female which would be difficult to identify.

Maybe the Goldfinch has a sweet tooth?
