The vet at the LI Fair this year had collected blood samples from dead crows a decade ago and preserved them for some other study, and is trying to get these samples to the right researchers who can compare them to present day samples as a reference. This year we have had 2 reported cases, last I saw, but I think one was inn Staten Island near NY City, and the other also around the city area, so who knows what is going on? Definately not as much here as last year. Merek
