Avian influenza found in South Carolina

Yes, chickens being raised to pump out eggs for sale.
I do believe it is still in NC.

So, no cases found in backyard flocks, or?

Is it worse? (In NC), or better?

I'm not sure. I would keep an eye on the wild bird chart, and watch to see if any more recent cases continue to come up.

And we have a hawk here… it’s staying around here

We have hawks nesting on our property and of late an owl's been coming around. I'm east of I95 so feel surrounded by reports.

All we can do is the best we can for our birds and be aware of what may be around us.

Yeah. Man, it's scary!

Bird flu confirmed in PA, virus detected in wild bald eagle found dead, officials say​

Officials say the latest bird flu has made its way to Pennsylvania.

The state game commission made the announcement Friday.

They say the bird flu, or highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, was detected in a wild bald eagle found dead in East Marlborough Township, Chester County.

Officials add that they’re waiting for lab test results from five wild hooded mergansers with suspected HPAI recovered from Kahle Lake on the Clarion and Venango county line.

Four of the birds were found dead and they say the fifth was euthanized after showing neurologic signs.

I think this is the first report from Pennsylvania.
