Another newcomer today!
No hummingbirds, but I think this is a woodpecker. Woody, I do believe, is an appropriate name if so.
I have another video but it won’t upload. I’ll have to try to post it tomorrow.

What I hear you saying is that he is the mascot of the new Wyze notification sound…since it and Woody Woodpecker’s laugh have the same pattern.

That is a common male House Sparrow.
That wasn’t the video I uploaded. That is so strange. I’m gonna edit and re-post.

Looks like you have a Red-bellied woodpecker on your feeder. They visit my feeders as well.

I would not be surprised if it doesn’t try to build a nest there. Think about it. A nice flat surface, it’s off the ground and the food is right there.

It’s actually a Male Red-bellied Woodpecker (females don’t have that much red on their head).

Males have red extending shoulders up the neck and over the forehead to beak. Females have red neck, gray forehead, slight buffy red above beak.
