          More cases are expected after over 100 snow geese die of bird flu in Henderson County
          Claire Dugan Dec 12, 2024 Updated 11 mins ago

          HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. (WEVV) — On Wednesday, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the presence of bird flu in Henderson County.

          “Right now, we’ve had over 100 dead snow geese on Sloughs WMA, and then there’s been a few other suspects in other counties which have been sent off to the lab and are kind of pending confirmation at this point in time,” Dr. Christine Casey, wildlife veterinarian for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife says.

          This is the first detection of 2024 for this Fall season, but officials say they were already on the lookout for it.​..

                            Avian flu suspected in black vulture deaths at Corinth Lake

                            Betsy Smith Editor 2 hrs ago

                            A visit to Corinth Lake on Jan. 7 turned gruesome for local residents who encountered 13 dead black vultures.

                            Stephanie Lewis-Hardin, who said she frequently visits the lake and loves to fish, said some of the birds appeared freshly dead. She noted some of the carcasses had been “eaten on,” although at the time nothing was feeding on them. “But you could definitely tell they have been eaten.”
                            ...
                            State Wildlife Veterinarian Christine Casey confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), more commonly known as bird flu, is suspected in the vultures’ deaths.

                            “We collected black vultures from Grant County back at the end of October which came back as HPAI. Based on the current information, we would consider these HPAI suspects but need to be confirmed at a veterinary diagnostic lab,” Casey said.
