My feeders are mostly empty by sundown and I scatter some seed on the deck for the squirrels and our resident chipmunk... as well as some peanuts still in the shell. I don't refill at night -- I just have extremely active birds, I think.

I love them and will keep feeding them - it just gets $$. I want them to have good food, not just filler. And I"m already worried about them when we eventually move.
