We live between Renton and Issaquah. We first saw them the first week of
November and have through today. It is the largest concentration we have
seen. Some days we had 50+ feeding and in the trees. Today we had about 20
at one time. We went through 20 lb of black sunflower and 20lb of no-mess
every 2 weeks for 2 months. We had about 25 Band-tailed Pigeons and other
birds at the same time, so it wasn't just them.

This is a link to a picture of about 20
