Hi,
I was one of the stragglers to whom Bill Heck alluded. I would caution
people to stay back by the stake at the corner of Mae Miller's house. A
photographer had gotten much closer. He assured us that it didn't bother
the bird at all, and that the bird was feeding every 40-45 minutes. After
he left the bird soon fed. It is possible, though not certain, that his
close-up presence was delaying feeding; and that is not a chance worth
taking in cold winter weather when energy replenishment is so vital to
survival. Anyway, I would suggest that birders stay back, just in case.
Mae Miller also prefers it. We left her a bag of sugar to help with the
feeding!
