[Birdtalk] FW: Avian Influenza Monitoring in Utah

[James McIntyre]

Thank you for posting the info below re avian disease on the Utah Birds website.  Birders cover a lot of territory and should provide a lot of extra eyes for UDWR.

Waterfowl hunting season is starting and I hope similar info will be made available to hunters.

Sincerely,
Dr. James McIntyre

        The UDWR (along with every state in the nation) is also engaged in similar monitoring programs. I would like to refer you to the Divisions website. You can navigate there under the menu on the left for conservation > wildlife diseases > avian influenza, or here is the address: 
         
        http://wildlife.utah.gov/diseases/avian_influenza.php 
         
        This site contains some information about the disease and about what is being done about it. It also has a link for an online report form, I suggest looking at it because it asks for a lot of information and the most you could supply the more helpful. You can also report any findings of dead birds by calling the wildlife disease coordinator at the Salt Lake City office, or any of the regional offices (contact info also on the site). 
         
        Thank you, 
        Adam Brewerton
