I'm wondering how a crossbill deals with the small access holes in a Niger feeder in order to extract the seeds -- anybody know??

One female WW Crossbill remained at the niger feeder throughout. In addition a pair (?) of Pine Grosbeaks and then a large flock of Bohemian Waxwings (~120) showed up. The Cardinal and the RC Kinglet did not! We then went for a walk at Point Pleasant Park. In addition to the dozen or so dogs in the "No Dogs Allowed" area, the only species of interest was a group of about 8 Pine Grosbeaks feeding in the grass just above the high water mark between Black Rock Beach and the Anchor. On the Northwest Arm side at the sewage outflow were at least a dozen Iceland Gulls and 25-30 Scaup, mostly Greaters, I believe. A pair of WW Scoters and a C Loon were farther offshore. On the way home we made a quick stop at Pier 9 but few gulls were present. It looks as though the sewage outflow here has been discontinued. . . ? Does anyone know more about this location?
