We strew seed on the ground between a couple “bird baths” (easy water sources) and many birds/squirrels, and even the occasional deer come to dine - often little squabbles but the most impressive is when the occasional hawk swoops in and picks off a Blue Jay....for real battles, the Hummingbird feeders have the most action during their season....
I have witnessed Bruce Lee Hummingbird go for the eyelids of a beefy mockingbird. No more mockingbirds. These HBs have good PR for being little birches.
