    Okay, it's not a bird but that is definitely a hummingbird feeder. :)

    A couple of years ago I saw a very similar butterfly sipping on one side
    of the feeder while a hummer sipped from the other side. Unfortunately
    I did not grab my camera in time to get that pic.

    Pretty cool picture for late season. My feeling was probably a
    Fritillary... Might be this one but seems like it may be a bit too far
    north per the suggested rangešŸ¤·

    I think it may well be a fritillary. There are lots of little yellow butterflies still flitting around, too, but none of them try to sip from
    the feeder.

    Another one (and there was an even smaller one but I didn't get a pic of
    it):
