G'day all;

I just wanted to drop you all a note to find out if what I have is typical or unusual.
We have, here on a hill above Granite Falls, a lot of Pine Siskins. But of late it
seems that something appears to be wrong with them. We find them sitting on the ground,
apparently either unafraid of us or unwilling to move.

If I didn't know better, I'd say they'd been poisoned. They seem lethargic and will let
you pick them up with little fuss. I've been putting them in a small box, on a ledge.
In the sun so they can warm-up/stay-warm. After a while, when I look they're gone. I
just want to keep them away from dogs & other terrestrial predators and such. We have
large windows, and have had some strikes. But with help from some of you, here, we
thought we had that pretty well in hand. But still, we find some nearby that act all
goofy.

We've had lots of them all winter long, but these odd ones of late have me worried. We
don't use poisons, and none of our close neighbors do either. So we're not sure what's
going on. Any tips or enlightenment from you all would be most appreciated. Anything
to look for or observe in order to better diagnose what I'm seeing would also be most
appreciated.

TIA,
Dusty
