We have a couple of bluebirds showing up at the feeder and still have red finches. The goldfinches come in by the hundreds (well maybe not that many) at my parents in TN when the dandelions are in full bloom. It's hard to tell where they are at with a field of yellow. Then they usually pick the sunflowers clean when they are about ripe.

We don't have red squirrels - just the gray ones. We have the squirrel proof feeder but it doesn't stop them from trying to get a few morsels. They'd do better by just getting the seed that is dropped by the birds instead of climbing the deck but I guess they are slow learners.

Maybe this year we will put a hummingbird feeder out. This is at my parents.
