The wild birds spreading bird flu are entirely large
waterfowl -- ducks, geese and swans. These birds
don't frequent backyard feeders.

The place to watch is Alaska. Once it hits Alaska,
our waterfowl (and our poultry) are next.

Stay away fron dead ducks and don't kiss any chickens
(like the kids that died in Turkey).
