We only recently loaded our bird feeders, since the winter has been so snow-free 'till now. The progression of "customers" has been very interesting.
At first we got a pair of chicadees and no one else. (the "early adopters"). Woodpeckers and others watched from the periphery, but didn't partake. For days this went on.
One day a pair of tufted titmice (little Mohawks on top - really) showed up. Within an hour the woodpeckers jumped in. More titmice arrived, attracting a small flock of cardinals. It's evident the titmice are "trendsetters" in the bird feeder world.
The human world works the same way. It's nice to appeal to the chicadees, but you really want to capture the attention of the tufted titmice.
