The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is asking hunters and the public to be aware of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.
The KDFW says HPAL “is highly infectious and often deadly in wild birds and domestic poultry. Infected birds spread the virus through their saliva, mucus, and feces.” Symptoms include “incoordination, droopy wings, lethargy, unwillingness to fly, swimming in circles, and head tremors.”
Hunters or members of the public that see birds they believe may exhibit those symptoms are asked to report sick or dead waterfowl, raptors such as hawks and eagles, vultures, and groups of five or more dead birds by calling the agency at 1-800-858-1549 or the department’s online HPAL survey portal.
Hunters should take precautions during waterfowl season such as never harvesting, handling, or consuming birds found dead or obviously sick, wearing disposable gloves then washing hands thoroughly when handling birds, and never feeding dogs raw or undercooked meat from harvested waterfowl.
The CDC believes the threat of humans contracting the virus is low. Find more information at fw.ky.gov.
The Kentucky State Police has provided an update on the two-vehicle collision in Meade County Monday evening that left one man dead.
According to the KSP, the Meade County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance from KSP troopers at approximately 6:43 p.m. on January 1 for an investigation into a crash near the 3100 block of Kentucky Route 1692.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation shows that 62-year-old Gregory Brown of Paynesville was driving a passenger vehicle heading north on KY 1692 when for unknown reasons he crossed the center line, colliding with a southbound pickup truck driven by Jeffrey Cox of Webster.
Brown was pronounced dead at the scene by the Meade County Coroner’s Office. Cox was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
KY 1692 was closed for several hours for accident reconstruction. The investigation is ongoing. The KSP is asking any drivers that were in the area of the accident at around 6:18 p.m. to contact KSP Post Four at 270-766-5078.
