Incidentally, and not entirely related to the story above, if there is going to be an outbreak of bird flu in the U.S., according to new research from the University of Georgia, the likely avian carriers will be the wood duck and the laughing gull, as these are the most susceptible to the pathogenic H5N1.

The main point here is that these two species are very widely dispersed throughout the southeast and being a coastal community, they exist in large healthy populations in Walton County.
