The Teton Raptor Center has admitted its first patient with symptoms of highly pathogenic avian influenza: A great-horned owl.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Wildlife Health Laboratory confirmed Monday that the owl tested positive for the disease.

The Raptor Center and Game and Fish worked together to collect oral and cloacal swabs for the test but, because the owl presented many signs and symptoms of the influenza, the Raptor Center took the owl into a quarantine and humanely euthanized the bird.
