Wow, Larry! 12 feeders! Good for you. Most I’ve ever kept going is 3 &, in past few years, just one. Mainly, because as you noted…the cleaning. Not as easy as filling seeds in a platform feeder, lol! I clean in very hot water with a scrub brush & refill every 2 days & laziness on my part keeps me from maintaining more.

So, today, I’ve seen a couple of immature Calliope, both male & female, same with sev Rufous, a couple of immature female Black-chinned & a surprise adult male Black-chinned. Activity continues but the big flush of Rufous has moved on.
