I did hear about the birds in Idaho.
Also heard, via the proverbial grapevine, that "they" are finding some dead migratory geese in North Dakota with Avian flu...(friend of my son's who is with the Game and Fish Dept.) Which is why I quit feeding the stupid turkeys. Just chased a bunch of them off my back deck. Poor things are hungry. And yes, they can fly. My deck is 14 feet above ground.
I'm not surprised at the rapid spread in Asia. When I was there, there were live and dead birds hanging in all the open air markets, which are everywhere. Our FDA would go nuts in China............come to think of it, they would go nuts in ANY other country. We really do have quite high standards here.
