Hi Paul &amp; All,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sep 13, 2006<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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>

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