Information about Salmonella outbreak in Colorado

[Libby Edwards]

Hello
I have heard from a few sources that there is a salmonella outbreak in Idaho and Utah with bird die offs. What, if any, news is there about Colorado birds and what is recommended to do about this to keep it spreading here?
Thanks
Libby Edwards

COBirders,

I would like to echo Libby's request. The salmonella outbreak was bad (+/-15% mortality rate) in North Idaho, Washington, and BC this year. It had been an irruption year for the species with large numbers reported throughout the region making the outbreak that much more noticeable. We took our feeding station down back in January to try and help stop the spread in our flock.

I had meant to ask when we got back down here to Colorado to understand the extent of the problem this year, so thanks again for asking Libby. Very interested in any responses.

Doug
Denver
