Corvids are susceptible - and Blue Jays, Crows, Ravens and magpies are corvids. We normally get jays at our feeders. I have heard that some unmentioned songbirds are susceptible. I’d say stay tuned in and use good common sense. I know the U of M Raptor Center is getting owls, Red-tailed Hawks, and more species brought in. They will test them for bird flu. It takes 3-4 days to get results.
We have no waterfowl on our property - so no ducks, etc to worry about. With warmer weather it may die down - for now.
