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.”
