Congrats. I have them at my feeders for the first time this year. I can identify 3 different males. When looking at pics I've taken of them, it's obvious they are picking out white millet from the songbird blend I am feeding them. Like most birds they like cover near their feeders and are somewhat shy, I'd not try to get them to mingle with a bunch of more aggressive birds like sparrows, jays etc.

Yes, NB is in their summer breeding ground. It extends all the way to Canada.

Here is a pic of one on my feeder and the white millet is clearly visible in his beak.
