Some chipping sparrows stopped by the feeder today. The chickadee tried to chase them away, but they came back and got a full meal.

The male is almost done with his molt. I wonder if this cooler than average spring slowed the molt down? We are one week away from June and he still hasnât put on his full summer colors.

House finches stopped by this morning.
House Finches
-NEW - 06/18/2022:
Everyone must be super busy and not able to find time to post birds at their feeder? I am starting to feel guilty about being the only one posting in this thread as of late. Looking forward to seeing your feeders when the time permits.
House and Goldfinches - Two clips combined into one

Chickadees sure do look different in the summer than they do the rest of the year.
Chickadee hams it up near the end
Here is my setup. I am too close to get any detail on my hummers. I have to move my plumberâs feeder every evening otherwise the seed pandas can stretch up and devour.

Another very hungry House Finch stopped by this afternoon. I setup a DIY bird bath around the corner from the feeder. The Goldfinches found it within a day.

That looks like our state bird the male Purple Finch. I see no mention of a house finch east of the Mississippi.
We have house finches in North Carolina. I have a family of them that visit the feeders every day now.

I guess they have been introduced in the east and are tough to tell apart:

LOLâŚtoo funny I watched that same video after your comment. Iâm quite certain the video is of a House Finch. They have been coming to my feeder since I first put it up, back in March of this year.
I went to my Peterson Field Guide from my ornithology studies in college and there was no mention of the HS. Since then I guess many things have changed over too many years! 
Over the years I found that some books donât list every single animal in each area. Sometimes we have to use various sources. And sometimes yes, things do change.

So over the late spring and early summer, Iâve moved both my Outdoor Cam and my V3 to different locations in the backyard. Iâve gotten some okayish footage - it never appears to be sharp, because, hummingbird is tiny, and Wyze doesnât seem to get it sharp for my liking.
But I digress, I picked this up a little while ago on the V3.

Youâre not going to get very good quality from any camera that has such a tiny lens anyway. But I did find that my cams seems to focus better past 14 inches.
Pulled weeds. Put out water dishes. Wyze Cam v3 setup at 11:00 AM. Someone notices that he is being watched.

Beautiful bird call in this.
A couple of finches stopped by the feeder earlier today. I have no idea what the Goldfinch is digging for as I just filled the entire feeder up with fresh seed. This one is a bit longer and if you crank the volume you can hear a good number of calls throughout.

Goldfinches stopped by for a full meal. The male is getting a bit plump. He seems to be able to keep up with his girlfriend still. These two sure did have a lot to say.

Nice. Iâll bet itâs their favorite place to dine.

I think I finally have purple finches coming to the feeder now. With the deeper tail feather notch and lack of brown streaks on the bellyâŚwhat say you? This is a neat video as the nuthatch swoops in at the end and startles the finches.

Nice. The striped ones are probably their kids. At least thatâs the case at mine. They started bringing their children, so cute.
