Idaho Massive Mallard Die-Off
“State wildlife agencies and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Wednesday were testing tissue samples from more than 1,000 mallard ducks that are dying in a bizarre cluster along a southeastern Idaho creek bed, hoping to rule out an avian flu outbreak.”
“The massive outbreak is puzzling scientists because only mallard ducks are dying. Golden eagles, geese, magpies, crows and other birds in the area all remain healthy” http://tinyurl.com/ycqgmb

I seem to remember, that overseas, we would read that only one type of bird had died in mass. Is that correct? Maybe it has switch carriers vs. birds which get sick. Anyway, we will find out tomorrow, if “they” want us to.
Anyone seen any updates on DHS web sites?
It looks like they going to test for Avian Flu, the number of dead ducks is now 2000 in stead of 1000. Here is a story follow-up link
