This has indeed been an interesting discussion, confirming what I have seen. I
have disposed of and replaced nectar in the HB feeder 3 times now;
though I see HB's all around the house, and they make pitstops at the
water fountain, they aren't interested in the feeder right now. Hooded
Orioles are not eating us out of home & home this year, though I
hear them throughout the neighborhood. We only have 1 pair that visits.
Last year we had at least a dozen individuals. The
Lesser Goldfinches have ignored the Nyger Seed sock, though they
occasionally come for water. Last year I could barely keep it full. House Finches rarely come for seed. On the other hand, we have had Orange-crowned Warblers, Song Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos nest and fledge here.
