High Path Avian Flu

From Prospect Park Landscape Mgt Office Marty Woess

Hi all,

I have been asked by the rangers to check out and collect any dead swans, ducks, geese, gulls, crows and raptors that we find in the park. High Path Avian Influenza (H5N1) was recently detected along the east coast and DEC needs to examine any bird of interest.

If you find any of the birds in the list above please do not touch. Contact me and I'll come over, assess and collect the bird for testing. If you are unable to identify what bird it is, take a photo and send it to me. Also if you are unable to stay on site, please take a GPS location or pin. 

Thanks.

Marty
