Sort of a follow-up to yesterday’s post.
In researching our latest mystery bird, I went to The Hummingbird Forum, where I found a discussion on other birds using the Hummingbird feeders. From the discussion there, I see that this activity is not as uncommon as I thought.
One reader said that Cardinals do not drink the sugar water, but do regularly drink plain water from the “Ant Moat” on her feeders.
And a Canadian member even posted a picture of a Black Squirrel with a sweet tooth.
Closer to home, Kevin in Baton Rouge says he has seen
Orioles (including Baltimore, Orchard, Bullock's, Hooded, Scott's, Audubon's, and Altamira)
Ruby-crowned Kinglets
