Gary, avian botulism is common in migratory ducks. The organism is in
the soil built up by decaying vegetation and marine life. From what I
remember mallards are particularly susceptible. Human feeding junk like
bread may also contribute. It is a paralytic disease and the cause is

Thanks Andrew,
I copied below the response I just received from Jenny Landry at DEC.
