The River Reporter in its October 13 to 19  issue reported that the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) may have detected avian influenza in a flock of black vultures in Narrowsburg. The DEC has since confirmed this information.

The black vultures the DEC tested had the H5N1 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), according to Wendy Rosenbach, regional public participation specialist for Region 3. No other reports were made in the area, said Rosenbach, "but based on our wild bird surveillance HPAI can show up anywhere in NY over the next few months and probably longer."
