I have had a couple of Common Yellowthroats and N. Parulas pass thru but they don't stay. The C. Grackle invasion persists---and the Red-winged Blackbirds/ Bronzed Cowbirds have joined in. I have three (a fourth occasionally appears) regular P. Buntings but they are very skittish. They don't stay in my yard between feedings. The next door cat still stalks and a few days ago was on my roof! It was hanging out under the branches near my roof where the birds like to perch!---My single male hummer is only an occasional visitor to the nectar feeder so far. In previous years you could time it ---every 20 minutes it would appear. The squirrel is a regular visitor at my window feeder. I bang on the window to scare it away---(ha-- that lasts about two minutes and it emerges again--if I shout, it retreats quickly---till the next time!!!
