SUBTHREAD: Pine Siskin and W Crowned Sp continue
Hey Don
Rancid would almost seem to imply that you, yourself are taste-testing it :)
Seriously, did you mean something else - moldy?
I store mine in a HOME DEPOT like bucket inside a metal trash can [to fend
off the mice] in the garage almost year round with no problems.� And there is
the fact that grain found in the pyramids was�discovered to be viable 4000 years
later.� It is true that the sock will sometimes sit untended for weeks at a time, but I'm not
comfortable putting that down to its having an off taste to the birds...
�
I stop with sunflower seeds on [appx] May 15th due to the fact that in the warmer
weather months moths will hatch out of the seed and seem to get everywhere in
the house.� If I had a detached garage, I would likely not see that as a problem.

I was surprised to see a� lone PISI this morning looking for but probably not finding
sunflower seeds while ignoring the full sock of thistle [rancid?].� It's been months
since I've seen one; they�were very few and far between for me�IN SEASON.
�
A pair of WCSP was likewise seeking something under the feeders, doubt they will
be here much longer...
�
My hummer was back again on Sunday...not observed yet today...
