Hi all once again:
=20
Of note today=2C 31 evening grosbeaks at the Lakeview Dairy Bar just beyond=
Caledonia. There is a side road to the left just beyond there and 11 mor=
e evening grosbeaks were there I had an email from a lady at Gold River wh=
o has 150 evening grosbeaks coming to her feeder.
=20
The other bird of note that was odd in my mind was a belted kingfisher by t=
he Mersey=2C by McGowan Lake=2C Queens County. I've personally never seen =
a belted kingfisher inland in the dead of winter before. =20
=20
Now to poise a question given to me by Peter Tunnah. Apparently=2C a horse=
died not long after the arrival of the Carolina Wren on a nearby farm. Th=
e cause of death was H1N1. Peter asked me if I thought that fecal dropping=
s from the wren might have caused this. I would expect that the host bird =
by this time after five months or so would not look healthy if it were a ca=
rrier of the virus. Anyhow=2C for those that know more about the virus=2C =
what are your thoughts? Peter said that he had collected samples of the wr=
en droppings from the insulation roost. I advised that if he was concerned =
to have these droppings tested through DNR by a pathologist. Peter by the =
way is aware of the precautions that need to be taken in handling such item=
s.
