HONG KONG, Jan. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheriesand Conservation Department (AFCD) found H5N1 virus in a dead Peregrine Falcon on Wednesday and has stepped up monitoring of biosecurity measures at chicken farms and surveillance of wild birds.

AFCD's Assistant Director Lai Ching-wai said that, the presence of H5N1 virus in the Peregrine Falcon poses no immediate threat to public health. The measures taken are aimed to prevent any outbreak of avian influenza in chickens.

I did see that article; but no, that isn't what got me started on the falcon.

That EOM board posted something about falcons. Between that post, this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1065689/posts?page=820#820 and the avian virus that was shipped to Maine for testing....

That is what got me started on falcons.
