Based on your description of the females I think I have a young female coming to my nectar feeder. I have oranges out too. They have been poking at them for sure. But I have not spotted them at the oranges. I also have only seen a male in flite around the house twice and never at the feeder. Are they very shy birds? I'm going to continue with the oranges in hope of spotting them eating it.. what time of day do they visit the oranges?
Thank you!
