What's the best way to attract? I only usually have 2 in SE LA.

Lowest numbers in the last 4 years. Not sure if I screwed up by letting the feeders go dry for a day and they left, of if real numbers are down.

Same here. Have about 15-20 of them throwing down right now. Will empty both feeders in a day.

I had to refill our four feeders again when a new bunch of travelers arrived fighting with the regulars.

I've had a steady flow of about 20 birds for the last week. They are downing almost 1gal day of nectar between 2 feeders.

Today is the most birds I have ever seen. Three 20 oz feeders need refilling about every 4 hours. On pace for 1.5 gallons of juice today

Wow just wow. I can’t ever get it to where one a-hole male is defending the feeder.

A week or two before Labor Day I had nearly two dozen every day up past Labor Day with 6 feeders out. Numbers went down after that but not alot. Then we went out of town for a week, come back to 5 out of 6 feeders dry, with no visible birds. So I'm thinking they left, so I took all but two of the feeders down and put what nectar mix I had left out for any stragglers that may fly by. Today I see 8 - 10 out chasing each other off so I filled one more feeder with what sugar I had left. I can't prevent the dominant ones from chasing the others off. It happens every year even adding more feeders and it doesn't change.
