The rabbit was again grazing close to the patio. Titmice and chickadees joined finches and cardinals at the feeder. I found an explanation for the punk-looking cardinal which suggests it is an adult undergoing a bad molt, not a fledgling. Or it might be suffering from mites or some other skin irritant.
The hummingbird is still here and this source suggests that perches are a good idea as they save the birds from wasting calories hovering. I may need to go ahead and use that part of the replacement feeder.
