With waterfowl season underway, officials at Kentucky’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are cautioning hunters about the dangers of avian flu. John Brunjes is the department’s migratory bird program coordinator. He said avian flu has been diagnosed in snow geese in western Kentucky.
“We're starting to see potentially some cases here, where birds are getting this, so we just want hunters to be aware that you've potentially been exposed to it. And we want you to be aware that you know that your dog, if you have a retriever, and he's retrieving ducks that it can be exposed.”
