Tweeters,
I heard, from a friend who volunteers at PAWS, that there is a contagious illness affecting Pine Siskin . Apparently they are suggesting that people either clean their birdfeeders daily, or just take them down to help prevent this illness from spreading further. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I haven't found this news on Tweeters (though I remember someone recently reporting dead Pine Siskin at a feeder site). Can anyone confirm this info?
