[mou-net] Indigo Bunting!
At 2 pm today, I had the thrill of seeing a beautiful male Indigo Bunting searching for food in my fly-through. There was just enough sunlight through the clouds to show his gorgeous blue!

Re: [mou-net] Avian Flu
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.

Re: [mou-net] Avian Flu
There are many good sources for information including USDA, DNR, Cornell Lab, National Audubon. I’ve seen only one expert advise taking down feeders for songbirds.

I believe Hummingbird and Oriole feeders are fine. Probably best not to fill songbird feeders until the end of May. Good time to give them a good cleaning.
