Yes, I am the working stiff, not the birds. The empty feeders are a sure sign that they continue to visit during the week.

We must have had 35-40 each day over the weekend. Juncos and a few white throated sparrows scratch around down there too. 3 male and 2 female purple finch have been visiting off and on for the past month.

I'm waiting for a siskin or purple...still waiting. Haven't heard much from folks here in Lexington about much else coming to the feeders. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Most everything else is staying away from the feeders. Is anyone else seeing this?
