[PAUL HAGER <jphager@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Joan,  I'm doing the mycoplasma survey.  I see at least two and sometimes
more cases each day.  For the first time yesterday, I observed a goldfinch
with the disease.  It appears to affect about 10% of the house finches
around Berea.  Paul Hager, Berea, Madison Co.
