Super tiny bird that kept attacking its reflection in the window of my office. I went outside and there were a group of these tiny birds in my bushes. I think it is a bushtit.

The house finch is pretty common at my bird feeder. This particular finch came to scope me out while a female house finch (not pictured) was investigating the far end of the feeder.
