We have 2 species that over-winter here in Portland, OR. I have a light bulb (with an aluminum cone to direct the heat) hanging underneath one of our feeders that keeps the solution warm when it gets freezing cold overnight. They also just sit on the feeder to keep warm. I bring in the 2 other feeders when it freezes overnight. Only have about 3 birds that hang around our feeders at wintertime. LyleH
