[EBB Sightings] Salmonellosis

I, too have been checking on the impact of the DFG memo to close down bird
feeding and my (voluntary) obligation to the Cornell Feederwatch project. 
Cornell just said they were in accord with the DFG memo
(www.dfg.ca.gov/news/news05/05011.html) but didn't tell me to stop the
feeding.  The memo refers to "forested areas...from Grass Valley to
Eureka".  Lacking more details from Project Feeder Watch, and excluding
Alameda County from that quoted area, I plan to clean up and keep feeding.
	Apropos the purple finch sightings, I have seen one (that in the past
week) at my location in northeast Berkeley.  I may not see one a year at
this location, but they're easily missed, at least by me.
	Thanks to all for the input.
