I have my hummingbird feeders put up in their usual spots and I've been getting a few regulars [View all]
stopping by. Surprisingly, my regulars now include a pair of House Finches that have been here every day for the last week or so. They always arrive together, perch on the "rail" around the feeder and poke around at the holes with their beaks and then move on.
The feeders holes don't show any damage like they are trying to peck or chip pieces off and I don't see how they could be accessing any nectar. Since they are always together should I assume that they don't have any nestlings to feed or eggs to incubate?
Has anyone else ever observed this behavior?
