Hmmm, CLB- good eye! I recogize their chirp now....sort of a high pitched version of a cardinal.....forgive my layman's expression, but it is short and chirpy. From the sound of it tonight, there were at least 3 males- two at the feeder and one in a sabal palm nearby, so you could be right.

Here is another picture from that day.....these guys come out first thing in the morning and last at night....and everybody takes their turn at the feeder. Here is a quick moment before the bravest bunting left as a red bellied woodpecker had arrived.
