People did call, but it was likely a lost cause.
Due to Avian flu concerns, many won't risk it right now. People visiting the crossings should keep an eye out for other sick birds until a pathology report comes back.

There are several veterinarians in the area who work with wildlife and may have been able to save the bird. Also, the dead bird should have been taken to the state wildlife pathology lab at 5 rivers for a necropsy (they would have then given it to the museum). <https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature> On Wed, Sep 14, 2022 at 10:30 AM, kernscot <[email protected]> wrote: Sad.
