What we are still missing are the flocks where there are one or two smart crows (of one species) who are fed by a dozen or so stupid crows (of a different species).
We have not had any finches except for a little one that looked like this one:

Here in Amish country, West Nile wiped out many horses about 3 years ago. They vaccinate now. As many as 70 a day.
Also had a neighbor who was repeatedly hospitalized with it.
Mockingbirds and a bakers dozen other kinds of birds are missing as well. But driving around in Va. and Md. and not seeing a single crow is positively weird.
It's the thought that counts....
Since when is encephahitis a jihadi plot?
algore has locked the crows and bees up in huge underground caverns for maxmum effect of his dire predictions. LOL
We have bunches of Ravens (Corvus coraz) in the desert of California.
Be glad to lend you a few... They feast on the rabbits and pets killed on our roads.
Of course there are many many species in Genus Covus. They interact well with man. I don’t think we have a single species of crow in common with Israel.

They must have migrated north of the Mason-Dixon with the Baltimore-Washington commuters filling up southern Pennsylvania. Never saw or heard so many crows as this summer.

Thanks for the ping.

It appears highly likely to the point of being a statistical certainty, to me at least, that this clown Saddam Hussein had been sitting there taking various kinds of potshots at us for a number of years before we took him down.
In keeping with longstanding policy of keeping the American population in the dark in re terrorism, at least until there is an attack which undeniably is a terrorist attack. (OK City, 9/11).
I would not doubt that in the event of incontravertible evidence that West Nile Virus was in fact a weaponized variety which was planted here by our enemies, the minions of Government on both sides of the aisle would keep the fact quiet to hide their incompetence.
Especially the "co-presidents" who, in order to push their domestic agendae, routinely denied that acts which appear to have been acts of (international) terrorism were anything but the result of Christian whites bent on race war.
The cartoon characters Heckle and Jeckle were magpies, but never mind.
I get the impression that some of our enemies view us as too powerful to attack directly and thus seek to weaken us with a thousand little cuts like this west nile thing.
The crows did take a hit here in Mississippi as did the Bluebirds and many other species of birds but natural selection has occurred and they are rebounding. There is a flock of crows in my pasture as I type....they love my pecan trees...

I've always suspected West Nile was a toxic gift from Saddam Hussein. With a name like that, where else would it come from. At least we killed that dick.
I just wish Saddam had managed to thin out the grackle population in North Texas. Some days, I feel like I’m in a particular Hitchcock film.
