Depending on the style of feeder, I have also seen chipmunks draining hummer
feeders.

Joe - Yes, you need the baffle as it is almost certainly a raccoon.

Apologies if this has already been discussed here, but has anyone
experienced raccoons draining their hummingbird feeders at night? I
initially
thought the feeder had a bad seal and was leaking, until I tried another
one
and it was "leaking" too, and only at night. Haven't actually seen the
culprit, but we have raccoons around the house (as I'm quickly reminded of
when
I leave the garage door open- e.g. bird seed) so guessing it must be them.
I took my baffle off for the summer as didn't think I needed it for a
hanging Mandevilla plant and hummingbird feeder, but guess I do.

My experience with Cedar Waxwings, wanderers that they are, is that in June if
you are in an area with ripening Shadbush berries you are very likely to see
them; they seem to me to have geographic large scale Shadberry trap-lines that
the tend in June, the same way Hummingbirds have small-scale nectar trap-lines.
I have no scientific data to back this perception up, it's a speculation on my
part but isn't that what wanderers do? Have a circuit they travel following
available food stocks?

My Cedar Waxwings arrived with the sun and ripened Shadblow berries.? The max I
saw at one time was 2, but there were birds in and out of the tree all day.
I observed a very sweet interaction between 2 waxwings.? One picked a berry and
passed it to the second and then the second passed it back.? This back and forth
happened about 5 times.
However, they are very camera shy, while I can stand on my deck talking on the
phone and they hang around as soon as I bring out my camera they scatter,

Yeah, I'm hypothesizing that the waxwings, by their nomadic nature and often
late migration strategy are the best suited to take advantage of this sporadic
bounty.? They seem to be quite abundant in the brood areas.? The only abnormal
sighting I've had was a Scarlet Tanager singing from this residential area on
the first day I investigated it.
The brood extends from there east to the end of Surrey Lane, north to the west
end of Hubbard Park and over to the area of Exit 4 of 691.? From there I
suspect it connects with the sightings in Southington, along the west slope of
West Peak.? It goes south and west to the electrical transfer Station on E.
Johnson Ave in Southington (or is that Chishire).? It sounded like the
motherlode was in Hubbard Park, just NW of the trailhead off West Main (west of
the Welcome to Meriden sign).? With i had more time to explore and find the
epicenter!?
Max pointed out that we could hear them from our yard, about a mile east of the
brood, but I couldn't find the source of that in a brief drive around the area.

Yesterday, there was a bunch of them in the trees on Jeffrey Ln in Meriden,

we saw a crow grab a few.?
Jeffrey is near Gwen, it's that brood that Patrick has been noting.

Following on from my experience yesterday in Branford where multiple groups
of Cedar Waxwings appeared at every stop, a big contrast to their relative
absence from the state for the first four to five months of the year. Reading
the other listserves the same abundance was noted this weekend from both the New
York Botanical Gardens and Plum Island in Massachusetts. Did others have the
same experience in Connecticut thid weekend?

I haven't had raccoons drain them, but I have squirrels that drink from them
frequently and knock them to the ground. This just started last year. It might
be one squirrel with a sweet tooth. Very annoying!
