Abstract: An outbreak of wild bird mortality in southwestern B.C. began in mid-November 1992 and declined sharply as winter progressed. Pine Siskins (Carduelis pinus) were particularly affected with smaller numbers of Evening Grosbeaks (Coccothraustes vespertinus) and other species. All birds died from Salmonella typhimurium septicemia. Details of the outbreak and the infections are presented.
