Report Dead Birds to Public Health

With the start of summer mosquito season and the connected risk of West Nile Virus, Seattle & King County Public Health has issued a request for anyone who discovers dead bird(s) to report it immediately.

King County’s WNV environmental surveillance program in 2010 will focus on tracking dead birds because certain species of birds tend to get sick and die from West Nile very quickly. The public is urged to report dead birds one of two ways:

• Report dead birds online at: www.kingcounty.gov/health/westnile
• Call Public Health at 206-205-4394
