Miller: Concerns about avian cholera response.

VICKI MILLER POSTED ON MONDAY, 15 JANUARY 2018 22:58

Thank you for printing the information on the avian cholera and the die-off of the ducks on our lake. My husband and I were just two of many volunteers that picked up the dead waterfowl/gulls/crows in the past. We know how quickly this disease spreads and how important it is that we continue to pick the the birds from the shoreline "daily" and dispose of them properly.

I was disappointed to read that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife people were now just "monitoring" the situation. Does that mean just one person walks all the shorelines and looks for the dead birds? Do they not know that this disease doesn't disappear in just a few weeks? We have thousands of waterfowl on our lake right now.
