Ok, Roger, is officially the "Bird Whisperer"!

He's done this before and even with chipmunks!

Today I carried a large cup of sunflower seeds to the platform feeder. There 
were several Pine Siskins on the thistle sock. I moved closer slowly until I 
was about 4 feet from them. I held out the cup of seed and waited. Within 30 
seconds one siskin flew over and landed on the cup. Soon there were several 
more perching on the cup and on me. Here is one photo. You can see several 
others at my web site at http://www.pbase.com/mayhorn/feeding_by_hand_2012
