I just found a dead, great horned owl in my yard the other day. I didn't even consider it to have the bird flu, but rather thought about West Nile disease. My dogs were strange around the bird, they walked around it. I turned the bird into the local DNR office and they told me they probably won't even test it to see why it died because of expense! They said they would send it up to a different office in case someone wanted to stuff it. Odds are they threw it in the woods out back as soon as I left.
