Are pine needles (ground up with a lawn mower) good for compost?

Thanks

They are excellent. I collect pine needles from any neighbors who have conifers which
shed. We don't have all that many in Austin. I will sometimes drive to the piney areas
near Bastrop (an hour or more drive) just to collect pine needles.
