The female house sparrows are the most messy when it comes to scattering seed from the feeder. The spilled seeds got wet and my wife gathered them and set them on the back porch to dry. When we returned from shopping there were hardly any seeds left in the pan. Some had been eaten but most had just been scattered all over outside the pan!
I finally decided to take down the hummingbird feeders. There have been no hummingbirds for about a week and last night there was a heavy frost so if they are not all gone they will be frozen!
There are still plenty of savannah sparrows about as well as pine siskins, and I saw a goldfinch at the feeder again today. I thought they would be all gone. I saw more than one purple finch at a time and there are probably several red breasted nuthatches as well or at least if there is just one it must be very hungry.
