Did have a brilliant Male at the feeder on the weekend but sitings are irre=
gular. Noticed that some of the young males (assumption)=A0are now showing =
agressive/possessive tendancies around the feeders and chasing other juvies=
 away. Volume has dropped to about 6 cups a day from over 9. Have not seen =
any mites on the feeders since I reported them.=0A=A0=0ARob=0AGeorgefield N=

thing with a female in attendance. Then they flew off together...one return=

to hear who still has males attending their feeders.=0AAngus
