i plan to attend the local audubon society bird count tomorrow.
i did have an unusual sigthing of a goose (Ross's goose? small one)
walking in the road the other night in the middle of the night.
it allowed me to approach quite close, then flew a short distance,
only to appear in teh road around the bend...it didn't occur to me
until someone mentioned it...could this strange behavior be indicative
of bird flue? is there any warning about having contact with sick
birds? I have pet canaries at home i do not want to infect. and
neighbors have chickens.
