I was wondering how wild birds are affected with the band of influenza that is going around. Here are some answers.
"No wild bird infections have been detected yet in South Dakota, but in other states, the virus has most often been associated with ducks and geese. Birds of prey such as hawks, falcons, and eagles are also affected, presumably from eating infected waterfowl. While many sources mention pheasants as susceptible to HPAI, no pheasant death losses have been detected in South Dakota; however, a backyard pheasant flock in Washington State was identified as infected in January."
