It wasn’t clear until this morning that this bird was unwell. By the time a rehabilitator could have arrived at the scene, the bird likely would have already been deceased. The state museum can determine whether or not the bird should go to the pathology lab, but the possibility of an avian flu infection seems like it would be a point against involving a rehabilitator, since other birds in the care of the rehabilitator could then in turn become infected themselves.
