Thousands of Nebraska birds die from illness amid icy wetlands
Tens of thousands of birds migrating through Nebraska have been killed by an illness spreading quickly as icy ponds keep birds crowded on unfrozen water. By mid last week the Fish and Wildlife Service reported about 96,000 deaths from avian cholera and related disease, with another 5,000 to 6,000 birds noted by the state Game and Parks Commission. The Rainwater Basin wetlands were iced by last month's snow and freezing temperatures, enabling rapid transmission among dense flocks. officials expect fewer deaths as summer approaches and the bacteria wanes.
