[mou] Dead Redpoll and Siskin Answer

I just got a call from Carrol Henderson. The early tests on the redpoll carcasses had suggested that the redpolls and siskins were dying of something viral not fungal, however the tests have concluded that the redpolls died of Salmonella E. This outbreak of salmonella is widespread with repo
