Do male or female Red-winged Humminbirds visit feeders more often?

Males may visit feeders briefly and often perch higher than females to survey for rivals, while females spend more time at feeders, especially when raising young.
My experience this year, was just two visits by males to the feeders (pictured above) on the first day of the season, but since then it has been only females, numbering 100 to 150 times day (6-9 times per hour), between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m.
