Beautiful bird! I've never had one at my feeder, but I'm not in a great location. Lately, lots of Palm Warblers, Yellow-Rumped Warblers, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, a pair of Phoebes, Red-Bellied Woodpecker, Blue Jays, Cardinals and Dove (mostly White-Winged). I still have a resident Red-Shouldered Hawk patrolling the area, but he's now been joined by a Cooper's Hawk. The song birds better keep looking up! Hope your bunting stays with you awhile! wt

I believe I hung it towards the end of Spring. Honestly, I can't remember exactly. I just loaded it with nectar the other day and I'll see what happens. I have to be sitting on my patio to observe what is going on. You have to be in the right place at the right time. DD

Hi Mojave! Thanks for feeding the birds! The birds will see the feeder. They don't have much sense of smell. A Nyjer sock is sort of a specific Goldfinch feeder, and I sure hope that you get them. One of the very best seeds you can offer in order to attract in the most species of songbirds is Black Oil Sunflower Seed. Why not splurge and purchase another feeder and fill it with some Black Oil Sunflower Seed? I like a nice durable feeder that lots of species can easily use. I've posted a link just to show you an example of what type of feeder I love. You can look around your town and choose what you like. Your local Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Kmart should offer a decent selection. I also love my Tractor Supply for birding purchases. Good luck and happy birding!!! ~~Angie Here is a link that might be useful:

Very cool!! I have three A. rupestris blooming right now, but, the h-birds seem to not have noticed them. I hear them whizz and whir above my head, but I haven't seen any working the flowers since that one I got a picture of a while back on the bee balm.
