Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raven and Avian Flu

The tompkins county website has some info and a link to the DEC reporting form for dead birds  https://www.tompkinscountyny.gov/All-Departments/Whole-Health/Community-Health-Services/Communicable-Disease/Bird-Flu#what-to-do Sent from my iPhone On Aug 4, 2025, at 8:07 AM, John Gregoire <johnandsuegrego...@gmail.com> wrote:  There is nothing unusual about a bird walking.  In fact Raven spend much time on the ground as do other avian species. Your questions appear to be a non-sequitur.

It was walking away from my wife mowing outside the orchard fence very slowly. Completely off normal raven behavior. It was dead this morning.    My question is should I A. Bury the body with gloves mask etc B. Notify some agency about it C. Not worry about it and avian flu; let nature take care of the carcass?  Thanks.   Toby Dean -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds ABA Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds ABA Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds ABA Please submit your observations to eBird! --
