Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, HPAI for short, has now been detected in the SLV according to a recent article by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), and more wild bird mortalities have been reported since the announcement.  This is a sad situation, and we want the public to be aware but not alarmed.  Unless you are a commercial or backyard poultry producer, or a waterfowl hunter, this will most likely have no effect on you.
