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

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
