Caveman got "reminded" by a rufous last week, so I put my feeders out also. Just males till yesterday when we finally spotted a female.
A robin has decided this is the place to be and boy is he loud. Gets my cockatiels going and they're driving me nuts all day long.

I usually start them at a 4 to 1 ratio and work towards 5 to 1 ratio once the bulk of them arrive.

I gave up on the hummers. When I first moved to this joint my neighbor and I would get 1 loner showing up to our feeders regardless of plantings put out around the yards. After a couple years of that I decided there was no use wasting a good Merlow on that little sucker so I retired the feeder and drink it myself.
