If these banded crows turn up with it, there will be valuable information from the UW study on how it is spread and in what quadrants of the city it might be breaking out. . .there is no outbreak here so far, thank goodness. I don't know if "bird flu" is a problem outside poultry farming and migratory birds, but if it is a concern, I'm sure that would be monitored as well. Basically I think they study birds and vector-born desease, as well as crow "society" and range of habitat.<BR/>-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-47152561396203864232007-05-14T10:10:00.000-07:002007-05-14T10:10:00.000-07:00Crows are not my favorite bird, but this one caugh...Crows are not my favorite bird, but this one caught my eye.
