Answer by: Terry Messmer, Utah State University Extension Wildlife Specialist It seems aimost daily we hear about disease being spread by birds and the possible transmission to humans and other animals. Research suggests that improperly maintained feeders can spread disease. However, we do not know if the risk for disease transmission is any higher at feeders than in the wild. In general, birds that contract and spread diseases at feeders tend to be more social than others, so they would naturally congregate in the wild. According to the National Wildlife Health Center, there are five diseases that affect birds that visit bird feeders. The dis- eases are salmonellosis, aspergillosis, avian pox, and mycopalmosis. cil-sha- these diseases can lead to bird deaths either directly or All indirectly by making the bird more vulnerable to predators. For more, information about visit these diseases, ( ) OBITUARY Paul George Bradshaw Paul George Bradshaw, 51, Saturday," away passed December 20, 2CC8 in Beaver, UT.

The maximum thickness of 25 GPT rock is about 1 30 feet, whereas the maximum thickness of 15 GPT rock is about 500 feet. After calculating total resource estimates, the UGS imposed several constraints on the total endowment to offer a more realistic impression of Utah's potentially economic resource. These constraints are subjeccomtive since ioca'ly-teste- d mercial technologies on which to base them currently do not exist. The constraints used were: 1) deposits having a richness of at least 25 GPT (assumed minimum grade), 2) deposits that are at least 5 ce ce oil-sha- le oil-sha- le feet thick (assumed minimum mining thickness), 3) deposits under less than 3000 feet of cover (maximum underground mining depth), 4) deposits that are not in direct conflict with current conventional oil and gas operations (this does not mean that oil shale deposits located within oi! and gas fields will be permanently off limits - it simply demonstrates that regulators need to recognize that resource conflicts exist and plan their lease stipulations accord- will ingly), and 5) deposits located only on U.S. of Land Bureau Management, state trust, private, and tribal lands. . Accounting for these constraints, the new 77 billion barrel estimate was reached.

Give them space. Avoid crowding by providing ample feeders. Keep the feeder area clean of waste food and droppings. A broom and shovel work well, but a wetdry vacuum works even better. Make feeders physically safe. Use feeders with rounded cor- ners. Feeders vith sharp edges may cut birds, allowing an opening for bacteria to infect otherwise healthy birds. Clean and disinfect feeders at least once a month., Use one part of liquid chlorine bleach in nine parts of warm water. Make enough solution to immerse empty feeders completely for two to three minutes. Allow the feeder to air dry. Use quality food. Discard food that smells musty, is wet, looks old or has fungus growing on it. Clean and disinfect storage containers or scoops that are used for feed. Prevent contamination. Keep rodents and pets out of stored food. Rodents can carry and spread some bird diseases without being affected themselves. Spread the word. Tell your bird-feedi- neighbors and friends about the risks. Since birds may use several feeders in a neighborhood, your feeder may not be safe until your neighbor's feeder is safe. Once you start feeding, chances are good that the birds will become regular visitors at your feeding station. Should you take a trip and your feeders go empty, it is good to know your regular visitors will not starve. Birds are opportunistic and will search for food elsewhere. However, if you leave town for a while and adverse weather sets in, have a neighbor or friend watch your feeders to reduce the stress on your bird guests. Follow these precautions and you and your birds will continue to enjoy your efforts.
