Infectious bird flu virus found in snow goose from Canyon Ferry
Independent Record 17 hrs ago

Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was found in a snow goose from Canyon Ferry and a Canada goose from near Belgrade last week, Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials said.

The virus was detected earlier this month in domestic poultry in Judith Basin and Cascade counties. Several more birds from around the state are now undergoing testing for the virus, FWP officials said Monday.

This marks the first time since 2015 the virus has been detected in Montana, when it was found in a gyrfalcon and then in a backyard poultry flock in Judith Basin County.

Jennifer Ramsey, wildlife veterinarian with FWP, said the snow goose was sick when it was found at Canyon Ferry by a member the public who took it to the rehabilitation center at Montana Wild in Helena. It was then euthanized and tested. She said she suspects other birds at Canyon Ferry are sick as well.

"I would not be surprised if some tested positive," she said...

Montana wild turkeys first turkeys to die of avian flu in U.S.
by Jonathan MayFriday, April 29th 2022

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Wild turkeys found dead in Montana are the first turkeys known in the United States to die of the avian flu.

The dead turkeys were found near MSU Billings.

The person who found the first turkey originally thought it had been hit by a car. After noticing another turkey dead in the same area, the next day, he called FWP.

Game wardens then collected three of the dead birds and found they were positive for the highly pathogenic avian flu.
