Same here in CNY. My wife puts up the feeders in April, so they don't show up and move on, on account of food. Since doing this, we waste some sugar, but we get tons of hummingbirds.

We get a preservative, it is expensive, so i don’t use it once they establish themselves, but it keeps the food fresher. I use small feeders and lots of them, in the height of the year i am rinsing and filling each daily, makes for clean feeders, healthy birds and fresh food.

I wondered how the feeder for the Baltimore orioles feeder tipped over and the grape jelly got spill . Well the squirrel couldn’t get up the other feeder poles. So he went up to get the grape jelly. Because I put copious amounts of axle grease on them ( cardinal other birds seed in feeder ,like some peanuts ) .

But didn’t put any grease on the Orioles feeder pole. 
Well, I put copious amounts of grease on the orioles pole . 
Love to watch the squirrel smash his tail balls on the frame , ground. He owes me for wasting jelly .
