I have been feeding mealworms but sporadically. It I don't, starlings move in and hoover up everything. It takes me scattering them and standing there for 15 mins and even then the starlings are trying to move in wherever possible.

The good part is that we are thawing. Parts of the ground were exposed today and since we're going to be above freezing overnight and rain is moving in, there should be opportunity for more worm foraging for them.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
