Haven't seen any hummingbirds as yet but just put the feeder up today. We have had a pair of rose breasted grosbeaks, a pair of cardinals and a pair of orioles along with the usual chickadees and finches. The birds are entertaining and colorful. The tree swallows have been scouting out their usual birdhouse and will be nesting soon.
Last night some critter pulled the electric birdfeeder down and bent the rod that hangs from the tree limb. Ate 2 lbs. of seed. Maybe a deer, raccoon or bear but seems late for bear problems. Also the rubbish barrel was not disturbed which is a usual target for a raccoon. We haven't seen any racoons for many years in the area.
Anyone else having problems with their feeders?
