One thing I do wonder, is if the H5N1 would be transmissible by mosquito, like the West Nile virus. I haven't read anything to indicate as such, but if it can, then isolation won't be the answer either. Oh well. Add mosquito nets and cases of deet to the cache. ;-)
Birdseed sales are significant in this area. I haven't seen the small birds, except one, a woodpecker, in a couple days, which is unusual. But when a raven did a treetop overflight today he set off a forest of motion sensor alarms. Still can't see them, but they are out there, probably waiting for the temoerature, -12, to come up.
