Thanks, Pamela,

I'm in Wilsonville, just south of Portland.  We do have a Backyard Birds 
shop up in Lake Oswego that I've been to a couple of times.  I sure wish I 
had access to less expensive but just as good as bird food.  I'm giving 
black oil sunflower seeds in the feeders and on the group, and wild bird 
seed mix on the ground. It's weird, but this morning, I have no 
birds!  Usually my tube feeder will be 1/4 empty by now, and the flocks and 
flocks of birds coming and going and on the ground.  This morning, I've 
seen about 3 chickadees, but that's all, and they come in then flit out in 
a hurry.  I wonder what's going on?  It's eerie.
