Many dead wigeon (one w H5N1) in China 2003-04

Many dead wigeon (one w H5N1) in China 2003-04

New paper out from China, mentions:

EWHC [H5N1 type] was isolated from a Eurasian widgeon in a large lake [in central China] where many widgeons were found dead.

- maybe first report re these dead "widgeons" (maybe other species too, I'd guess). At time when wild birds being readily blamed for spreading H5N1. Yet here's further evidence that wild birds not asymptomatic carriers, for as we all know, Dead Ducks Don't Fly.
