Another article noted that the University of Wisconsin - Madison researchers have found the virus in over 20 species of dead birds sent from new York, including Robins, Bald Eagles.

There is a very real possibility of this virus spreading thoughout most of the nation and killing thousands (7 of 100 dying is much higher than its supposed to be for this disease, incidentally).

As I work in the Public Health field and have done work with the CDC (and still receive various bulletins from them), I can categorically tell you that there are a lot of 'crossed fingers' in the public health circles.

Its not that long to spring - which many biologists hope is an exceptionally dry, cool year.

I have been fumming for about a month now. We have no birds! We have woods in the front and back of the house. I always fed the birds and the crows, now all the bread that I have put out in the front yard is still there, soaking wet. We always have an awful lot of crows, no more, no sparrows, no chickadees, wrens, nothing. Everyone not interested in this, I am, the crows are an important part of the food chain too eat the road kill, etc. Now road kill simply lay in the road and rot. Perhaps from chemtrails? I have an idea that it is. I live in the upstate NY area
