They don't fly to an area. They are established, so we know they caught the virus in this area. |
We believe this year will be worse because the virus is already established. Last year, Sacramento was hit hard, and now Santa Clara County has the most infected birds in the state so far. |

With all this rain and the wet weather, we already have mosquitoes developing and adults flying. There are eight positive birds in the state and half of them are here. |
