Jane, I’m glad you reached out. I hope you don’t get an outbreak of West Nile virus.
West Nile is hitting us again this summer in Ithaca. We’re pretty aggressive about testing any dead crows in the county, and the WNV positive crows are starting to pile up here. I hope it’s not as bad as last year, when it appears we lost half of our study population of American Crows. Best, Kevin Kevin J.

Many thanks to all for your speedy answers. I spoke with the DEC office at Stony Brook and for now they don’t recommend any action or testing for only a few incidents, but if we see more they will want a report Jane F.

An ailing crow has died in a friend’s yard and I confess that I’m not sure what, if any, action should be taken. If it suffered an illness (west Nile? ) is it important to have it checked? It was one of 2 that seemed unwell this morning. Not sure what became of the second one Thanks for any advice, Jane F.
