I have been getting many calls at home and to the radio stations as well as a number of e-mails reporting large numbers of dead House Sparrows around feeders. Have any outbreaks of salmonellosis been reported? I remember a visit to Michigan years ago, where the disease was fairly widespread. I tell these good folks to clean feeders with a bleach mixture and that if their concerns are great, they might want to stop feeding for a month and allow the flocks to disperse. Thank you, Al Batt Freeborn County -------------------------------1077129046 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD> <META charset=3DUS-ASCII http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; cha= rset=3DUS-ASCII"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffff= f"> <DIV><FONT face=3DVerdana>I have been getting many calls at home and to the=20= radio stations as well as a number of e-mails reporting large numbers o= f dead House Sparrows around feeders.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DVerdana></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DVerdana>Have any outbreaks of salmonellosis been = ;reported?
