It was Very Exciting to See These Lesser Scaups

Afternoon Nap It seems like every time I go out to Cedar Key I find some new bird to add to my life list. When I went last week I was specifically hoping to see some white pelicans (which aren’t a new species to me), but I only got to see our year long residents, the brown pelicans. But while I was there I did find a group of lesser scaups (Aythya affinis), also known as little blue bills or…

BIRD WEEKLY – PHOTO CHALLENGE – DUCKS AND GEESE

Lesser Scaup in Lake Eola, Downtown Orlando, FL January 20, 2018

Common in Florida during the Winter time.

This baby ( I think is a mottled duck) was injured at some point but, it look like it is doing ok now. Still breaks my heart. I took this picture same day as the Lesser Scaup in Lake Eola.

This is a response to a BIRD WEEKLY – PHOTO CHALLENGE – DUCKS AND GEESE

Enjoy my birds :…

Anyone involved with poultry should review their biosecurity plan and enhance their biosecurity practices to ensure the health of their birds.

In addition to practicing good biosecurity, all bird owners should prevent contact between their birds and wild birds and report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to state/federal officials, either through their state veterinarian or through USDA’s toll-free number at 1-866-536-7593.

The National Wildlife Disease Program is focused on collecting 16,500 samples in 25 states. Adding surveillance in the Mississippi and Central Flyways will involve collecting an additional 14,500 wild bird samples for a total of more than 31,000 wild bird samples in 49 states.

Conducting surveillance sampling in all four Flyways will assist efforts to better understand the presence of variants of concern and help us monitor movement of avian influenza strains along migratory pathways.

This strain of AI that results in 80% to 100% mortality rates in poultry is now in 8 states.

* South Carolina - 1/13/22, Hunter harvested - American Wigeon, EA H5N1

* North Carolina - 1/16/22, Hunter harvested - Gadwall, EA H5

* Florida - 2/1/22, Hunter harvested - Blue Winged Teal, EA H5
