Hey Tweets...I received an e-mail promo from Wild Birds Unlimited in Gig
Harbor (Hi Jim!) with a piece about reports of greater numbers of Pine
Siskins showing up at feeders around the Puget Sound and eating huge
amounts of seed...especially their favorite, nyjer (though I have read it
is not a thistle as reported). I quit feeding the little buggers a few
years ago when the cost of the seed quadrupled.

In an interesting aside, it seems the only port of entry in the U.S. is New
York City/New Jersey; does that mean the cost will rise even higher thanks
to Sandy?
