What are the chances of this happening within a few seconds?

Amazing!  I hardly ever get to see a Purple finch, especially a male, but I've never seen three males at the same time.

I was just as surprised!

A female showed up a little while later and another male again. No pics
After discovering this today I'd like to revisit this image from Aug 2023
It is an amazon photo link much higher resolution just cropped.
