I have frequently heard them flying over our own property, but very few have visited the feeders - even the nijer seed. When I went to Middleton via Margaretstville the other day, there was a big flock along a back road in the middle of nowhere, but another big flock at a feeder about 2km. farther along. No Hoaries though!
