We’re on one of the major flyways so not surprising it popped up here again. Ducks are a host vector of bird flu, they don’t get as sick making them a perfect host to contract, carry, and evolve strains unfortunately. I haven’t heard what farm was or where so I can’t even guess at how the ducks got it in the first place, as in if they have exposure to wild ducks or other birds. Regardless it is very sad and worrisome too.
