Dead Bird Reporting
- Since 2002, MDH has used dead bird reporting and virus testing to confirm West Nile Virus is widely established throughout Minnesota.
- As further reporting and testing would not add to this understanding, we have discontinued dead bird reporting efforts.
- However, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District is still taking reports of dead birds (especially American Crows, Blue Jays, and Hawks) within the seven county Minneapolis-St. Paul area to help guide Mosquito Control efforts within their service area.
