I've been getting asked off-list about whether my anti-House Sparrow halo barrier is still working. So here's the report.

It is still working, mostly. One or two have made it under the wires, but without their flock following them they seem to have become discouraged.

One unintended consequence: without a huge flock of House Sparrows flinging seed hither and yon, the squirrels that used to be content gleaning from the ground are now aggressively climbing the feeders. So I need an additional barrier now.

Here's the product description: http://www.bird-x.com/magichalo/ . Seattle Audubon sells them.
