Shit.
The bad news - scientists have discovered the possible presence of the H5N1 flu virus in wild swans near Lake Erie.
The good news - it's not the highly pathogenic strain we're all freaked out about
The less good news - it still doesn't bode well. If it does in fact turn out to be the H5N1 virus, this will be the first time in 20 years that particular virus has turned up in American birds.

Huh. Surprising. I had expected it to pass with migratory birds from Siberia into Alaska long before it got to the continental U.S.
