Carol,

We have a few house finches here in West Ocean City that seem to
prefer the hummingbird feeders to the seed we have out, for no known
reason, since they can't actually get at the nectar in the feeders.
We've noticed this behavior the past 3-4 years here.

Best,
Norm & Fran

A pair of House Finches are at a hummingbird feeder in the yard for
the second day. Very determined to keep the hummingbirds away. Has any
one ever seen this?
