RE: [nysbirds-l] Dead crow in East Hampton ?

2018-08-17 Thread Kevin J. McGowan 
Jane,

I’m glad you reached out. I hope you don’t get an outbreak of West Nile virus.

West Nile is hitting us again this summer in Ithaca. We’re pretty aggressive 
about testing any dead crows in the county, and the WNV positive crows are 
starting to pile up here. I hope it’s not as bad as last year, when it appears 
we lost half of our study population of American Crows.

Best,

Kevin

An ailing crow has died in a friend’s  yard and I confess that I’m not sure 
what, if any, action should be  taken. If it suffered an illness (west Nile? )  
is it important to have it checked? It was one of 2 that seemed unwell this 
morning. Not sure what became of the second one
