At least five individual ruby-throated hummingbirds occassionally visiting or attempting to visit the feeder, probably a few more. Dominant male, at least two other males, and at least two females.

With the vast bloom of wildflowers, the feeder is mainly only a bonus for most. Past three days total measured consumption of just under 50 ml of feeder nectar (16 ml / day).

Dominant male appeared to be possibly molting with loose feathers. After a loose feather behind the legs in lower tail area has been hanging on the past five days, more likely it was partly plucked while sparring with another.
