The below article warns that an avian deadly eye disease is sweeping the northeast in the past few months perhaps radiating out from Washington DC. They are recomending we take down our bird feeders to help prevent the spread of this disease which affects multiple species including Blue Jays and Starlings.
At the same time they seem to know almost nothing else about the disease. Even whether it is caused by a bacteria or virus. I even looked to make certain that it wasn't an Onion type article . You know a nasty disease rediating out from DC? I half expected to se a lline about whether Facci denyied funding it.
But no it seems to be for real and they want us to stop feeding the birds to slow it down.
