Index of Subjects <html> <head> </head> <body> Hi Paul & All, Sep 13, 2006<br> Yes, I saw this many times in Cape Breton. Trees killed by Spruce Budworm became loaded with <i>Usnea </i>and then blew down. Deer would work slowly along the windfall, hardly missing a branch. However, when snow conditions preclude travel (such as 12' deep !) they must fall back on reserves, perhaps built up by earlier feeding on <i>Usnea </i>among other things.<br> Yt, DW<br> <br> Paul MacDonald wrote:<br> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:20060913121915.86079.qmail@web36207.mail.mud.yahoo.com"> <pre wrap="">Hi Dave and All<br>Usnea is a very important winter food supply for White<br>Tailed Deer as it was in earlier time for Caribou.<br>It doesn't get covered with snow so is available in<br>the most difficult time.

Hi Peter, Bob & All, Sept 12, 2006
An unusually rich stand (hang ?) of Usnea may also
be symptomaticof tree decline; better exposure
