After a single FOY sighting last weekend i had lost contact with them.  Today, however, there have been at least two regular visitors to the feeder.  I was able to watch one from a short disance away thru the sliding glass door and observed that, while perched and taking a break from feeding, it seemed able to flex the tip of the upper bill, similar to what is reported for Woodcocks.
