In my humble experience, when they stop visiting a certain feeder, something usually scares them away.

Someone else mentioned predators. There are bobcats in the area, but haven't seen tracks near the house. They did start hitting the feeder after I switched them. Thinking it was more likely the spoilage in this case.
All possible. It could even be something we don't think of. Like, say, air currents, nearby objects, etc.
I had plans to put up something more sophisticated in the backyard to photograph birds but with our four cats, I don't want to do that to the wild birds :)
