Re: attracting birds.  I'm not really qualified to answer, since we have
mostly house sparrows this year, too.  However, I noticed that even
while we get only sparrows at the feeder, the back yard is FULL of
juncos.  I don't get it?  Must depend on the type of food - I have heard
that if you use, for example, only thistle seed, you won't get sparrows,
and will get (more) finches.

I wish people would note what area of the country they are talking
about when discussing this subject!
