Hi Joanne,
We have them here too, though not as many at the feeders now. Lots flying around, so I restocked the feeders again this morning, as they're feeding very heavily. I have both thistle and black oil out, but they are ignoring the thistle feeder entirely. My Avisys program informed me that this was an early fall date for me at my location too.
