Long Island waterfowl stricken by bird flu
Published: , in Outdoor News
A headline in the Feb. 6 issue of New York Outdoor News issue warned, “Bird flu cases could increase in Northeast.” That has been the case on Long Island, where residents are regularly finding dead waterfowl in large enough numbers to catch the attention of local news outlets.
Bird flu or, more properly, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, has been a threat to Long Island waterfowl since February 2022, when New York’s first case was detected in Suffolk County.
