Technical troubles prevented us from getting your edition to you on the usual day. Feel free to sound off via the links provided. If you have any problems unsubscribing, please see further instructions at the bottom of this edition of Streetmail. Don't be a scrooge. EYE VIEW doesn't seem to help the house finches peering nearsightedly at the ground beneath my birdfeeders in search of seed.
More trouble lies on the ground beneath the feeders.
In addition to MG, birds can pick up salmonellosis from droppings and contaminated feed. Chasing after infected finches with tiny tubes of eye ointment isn't recommended, since treated birds may still carry and spread the disease. But to keep the others healthy, we'll need some elbow grease. The ground beneath the feeder needs cleaning, too. Be sure to leave your full name and hometown.
