Indiana – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources reports that the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as Bird Flu, has caused the death of waterfowl in Allen, Benton, Hamilton, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Pike, Porter, Starke, Tippecanoe, and Vermillion counties over the last six weeks. The DNR says that the risk to the public is low but extra precautions is encouraged if interacting with waterfowl.
