niman Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Mallard ducklings at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., have tested positive for a flu virus that mainly affects wild and domestic birds, but officials are warning visitors to steer clear of the birds and their droppings. It's the first confirmation of the highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, in the nation's capital, the National Park Service said in a release on Wednesday. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/bird-flu-virus-found-in-ducks-at-lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool/3072539/ Edited June 11, 2022 by niman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
