Yesterday a hummingbird fed from it and decided to stake out its territory. It chased away Black-capped Chickadees that were feeding at a sunflower feeder that was 20 feet away fram the hummingbird feeder. It chased a House Sparrow from my backyard. It dove at a Downy Woodpecker but stopped about a foot from it and flew back to a bush. Interestingly, the woodpecker froze as it normally does when danger threatens. It was quite a while before the woodpecker resumed feeding at the peanut feeder. I hope the dog-in-the-manger hummingbird doesn't succeed in keeping the whole yard for itself.
