Unexpected guess while ringing steel.
We have been putting some cheap dog food out for them every evening. Probably two families of young coming right now, They get so crowded around our feeder it is hard to count but I think the last couple of nights 12 give or take a couple. they are right outside our back door and my wife likes to watch them, rather comical. They do occasionally knock over a bird feeder, but no problem and they never bother anything else.Overrun you say...
