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 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.
