I had not seen this behaviour by Purple Finches before today: Several brightly singing birds would take off from their treetop perches with fast whirring wings and proceed to a nearby tree in the manner of a helicopter rather than the usual finch flight and resume singing.  Perhaps part of their song display? Fun to watch these levitating birds.
