I live near Dawes Arboretum--plenty of activity, including some furious squabbles!

Hey Sharon, I have a neighbor that has a feeder. And she says it stays busy. A friend that is by Killdeer has a couple of couples that are attacking his feeder. I've seen some over at Big Island WA...when I'm not expecting them.

Hello everyone, we have been watching our feeders for the past 3 weeks in hopes of seeing the usual 2-3 pairs that visit come by. We have seen one or two per day, max. We can't figure out if they just haven't arrived yet or whether we lost some over the fall/winter due to the various storms. We're in the Columbus area. Has anyone else experienced this?
