I have had a lot more this year too. But I never get more than one at a time. They chase each other away. I have feeders at 3 different windows, so they will fly around the house to find an empty feeder. I need to make more solution too.

Mine don't seem to eat very much, or for very long. they're so aggressive to others. There are 4-6 that hang out in the near by trees and the instant one of them goes to take a drink from the feeder, the others attack. My husband is hysterical because he keeps telling them "awwww - stop it guys, there's enough for all of you".

Thank You for sharing these wonderful pics! We have not had many as it has been so terribly hot this year. We have 4 feeders up and have just started seeing some this past week or so. I would love for them to hang around!!!
