INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON AVIAN INFLUENZA



The village has posted an update on this issue as a number of dead birds have been found in the area. It is important to note that it is unknown if these birds had avian influenza although it has been previously detected in the county. You can read the update from the village at Informational Update on Avian Influenza ("Bird Flu") | Croton-on-Hudson NY

CORNELL has an excellent treatise on this issue at Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Resource Center | Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

For those who have asked if we have ever "had dead birds here before"---yes during the West Nile years--but you should really contact the village directly for that info.

REMINDER 3/8 CROTON ARBORETUM SANCTUARY SPONSORED EVENT AT THE CROTON LIBRARY---KAREN JESCAVAGE BERNARD

On Sunday March 8th, an Arboretum Sanctuary Sponsored event - What can I do to help?...........(1:30-4:30 pm) --- Learn how you can help wildlife in your own garden during this free workshop event led by Arboretum President, Karen Jescavage-Bernard who will draw on 35 years of successes and lessons learned at the Arboretum. She will discuss practical strategies for supporting wildlife, answer questions about your garden, and offer guidance on what you may need to add. March is an ideal time to plan and order plants for spring and summer, making this a timely and informative program for gardeners of all levels. CROTON FREE LIBRARY

FYI: Karen is the reason why we have so many winterberry and purple beauty berry bushes (click on the photo) planted throughout our property. The birds love them, particularly the mockingbirds, as well as possums, squirrels and chipmunks.
