Great to see you here! We are not having any luck at all catching males with your method. I’m wondering if it is because there are so many flowers around right now. We still get a few visits to the main feeders, but much less than early in the season. Argh.

Looks like you’re having luck finding nests!! The best way to catch territorial males is to put up a feeder on their territory, wait a few days, then put a trap around the feeder. Sometimes you have to give it a couple days after the trap is up, before trying to catch the male. The Costa’s were tough, I never managed to catch some of the males I went after…
