Once again the crappy Majordomo software is bouncing messages for no 
apparent reason.  Hopefully this will make it across.

I am trying to get the following announcement out to as many people as
possible in a relatively expedient manner.  Please notify any
interested parties of the existence of the following study. 

Thank you very much.....


ASSISTANCE WANTED FROM THOSE WHO FEED BIRDS

Salmonellosis has become an important disease of songbirds during
recent years.  Numerous die-offs have been reported at bird feeding
stations, sometimes involving large numbers of birds.  The National
Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) is initiating studies to learn more
about the sources of infection and spread of this disease.  You can
help by reporting songbird mortality that you observe at your bird
feeders and by completing a questionnaire that may be sent to to you
in response to your contact. Reports of a bird mortality should be
made to Milton Friend, Director, NWHC, at (608)270-2401 or to Michael
Nieling at (608) 255-5523.  Do not send bird carcasses or other
specimens unless requested to do so.  Mailed responses should be
addressed to Michael Nieling, 922 East Dayton St., Madison, WI 53703
(or mnieling@students.wisc.edu).  Please label with the words BIRD
FEEDER STUDY. 

Thank you for assisting in this study.  All respondents will receive a
report of the findings from this study. 

Michael Nieling.
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Milton Friend.
Mark Wolcott.
