What are you seeing around your feeders besides the birds? Jonathan Camera Gear: Canon EOS 7D-MK-II, Canon EF-S 10-22mm, EF 28-135mm, EF 100-400mm and EF 400mm lenses.

The orioles, hummers, catbirds and warblers have been dining on them. There aren't as many Bald-faced Hornets yet - only a few, but these big guys are here on and off all day long. My best guess is that they are a species of Yellowjackets? Jonathan Camera Gear: Canon EOS 7D-MK-II, Canon EF-S 10-22mm, EF 28-135mm, EF 100-400mm and EF 400mm lenses.
