One arrived on Tuesday and a few more today, feeding on the sunflower seeds under my feeder in Barnhartvale. A number of years ago hundreds arrived and ate everything. Freshly emerged peas in the garden were devoured. A week later the mob moved on and I replanted.

Does anyone know where these transients come from and where they go when they move on?
