I apologize for not scrutinizing Andrea Robinsong's photo more closely
before announcing on CoBirds that there had been a Common Black-Hawk in

Hi Tom and Mary,
Indeed West Nile virus is present this summer, and still killing birds. There
are other possible causes as well. Anyone with a dead bird in good condition
