I hope that the public and the local governmental agencies will check for bands on both the geese and the eagles   . . .

We have an outbreak of avian flu here on Long Pond, Larimer County. Multiple Cackling Geese are sick & multiple have already died. We also have multiple Bald Eagles here every day scavenging the carcasses.

At nearby Terry Lake several Bald Eagles were found dead on the lake in late November & did test positive for avian flu.

I called CPW this morning about the situation at Long Pond and all they could say was that they were monitoring the situation. I asked if they were collecting the carcasses before the eagles could consume them but they did not have an answer for that. 

Very tragic situation.

This update just posted by the Colorado Sun on the Bald Eagles (and other birds and animals) being affected by avian flu.   Much worse than previously disseminated.  Plus, I had no idea how bad the chicken industry was affected.

Please be careful out there....
