Well, conventional wisdom was turned on its head this morning.  To my knowledge, this bird, over the last 2 months, is nearly always seen between 11am and 2pm.  This morning, it arrived at the thistle at 8am and stayed till 8:10 or so.  

So while mid-day is your best shot, I guess he's now showing up at any time.

"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot...like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild, and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television, and the chance to find a pasque-flower is a right as inalienable as free speech."
