Still lots of them at my feeders. I'm always amazed at how much energy they use/waste chasing each other away from the feeders when there are 5-6 ports and plenty of food for all.

On a related tangent, has anyone come up with a good way to keep ants out of your feeders? Mine are hanging from thin stings and the ants still get there. I've tried the water moat on the top, but sun and wind usually take that away quickly. I've also tried bug spray on the string but that only lasts until the next rainstorm.
