Avian flu threatens flocks throughout Nevada
By: Dana Gentry - October 31, 2022 2:32 pm

Clark County officials have detected a highly contagious strain of avian flu in two dead geese at Sunset Park, and say birds at other watering holes throughout the valley are showing symptoms of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), which is primarily found in waterfowl, but is a threat to backyard flocks of poultry and other birds.

“Both domestic and wild geese at our Sunset Park have shown symptoms of the disease. Two Canadian geese found dead both tested positive,” says a Facebook post from Clark County.

The county says the Nevada Department of Wildlife has confirmed HPAI is circulating in Southern Nevada, and likely throughout the rest of the state. It’s been confirmed in Spring Creek and Wildhorse, according to the Elko Daily News...

Possible avian influenza outbreak at Key Pittman WMA
October 19, 2025 by The Eureka Sentinel Leave a Comment

The Nevada Department of Wildlife has identified a possible outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) at Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area and Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge in Lincoln County. Of 70 samples tested, 10 ducks tested positive for avian influenza and seven of the 10 were positive for the highly pathogenic variety.

Final confirmation of those test results is pending from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Nevertheless, with waterfowl hunting season slated to open Saturday morning in the valley, hunters should be aware that HPAI is on the landscape.​..
