I completely missed this one from June, and it happened in my area...guess I should pay closer attention to my local newspaper. Avian salmonella outbreak killing Billings-area birds'Avian salmonella is responsible for an unusually high number of dead birds, particularly red crossbills, in Billings-area yards with bird feeders this spring, according to the Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks.

Since mid-May, dead birds have been reported around at least eight bird feeders in the Billings and Laurel areas. One resident had 50 dead birds so far, and it is likely that other die-offs went unreported...' [ link to billingsgazette.com]
