I had a feeder until my backyard became a killing field. We had many mourning doves which I enjoy until a hawk appeared and swooped down and had them for lunch on a daily basis. I closed the smorgasbord and now I have cardinals nesting in my shrubs which is a treat. I'm thinking of putting out a hummingbird feeder; those little critters are too fast and too small for the hawk, at least I hope they are.
