[Tweeters] Pine Siskin flocks vanishing?

[GENE BULLOCK]

After being invaded by hordes of pine siskins, the flocks seem to have vanished.  Is this because of WDFW telling eveyrone to take do0wn all feeders, including hummingbird feeders?  Because of reports that irrupting pine siskins were arriving emaciated and starving, I chose to clean my feeders and leave them up.  I saw little justification for taking down my hummingbird feeders, because hummingbirds have little contact with finches and don't frequent seed and suet feeders.
