MessageHi, Eileen.  I have had House finches doing that  also, as well as a 
downy woodpecker doing the same.  I have photos of the downy trying to get to 
that nectar.

  I wonder if any of you have ever had Purple Finches feeding at a hummingbird 
feeder? I had a call yesterday from a woman that said for 2 years straight she 
has had purple finches drinking from her hummer feeders.With the short beaks 
they have I find that pretty strange.
