AN OUTBREAK OF ERYSIPELAS IN EARED GREBES (Podiceps nigricollis)
1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bear River Research Station, Brigham City, Utah 84302, USA
An outbreak of erysipelas killed an estimated 5,000 aquatic birds on Great Salt Lake (Utah) in late November, 1975. Although several thousand ducks and gulls were using the lake, at least 99 percent of the victims were eared grebes. A hypothetical explanation for the selective mortality is offered.
