Pine Siskins are Spreading Salmonella

Pine Siskins, according to this article, are spreading deadly salmonella:

Time to take the feeders down and empty the birdbath, I guess (3/11/21)

I'm taking my "Eliminator" squirrel proof feeders to Wild Birds Unlimited. They will disinfect them and clean them for a $5 donation. My seed feeders haven't been terribly busy lately, so I think the birds will be all right without them.

Génial avec l’oiseau qui s’envole.
