I highly doubt the raven had avian flu! It takes several days and very
official processes to test for that and it would be all over the media if
there was a positive test in a wild bird in NS. I'd guess if it wasnt
injured it was likely an unsuccessful hatch year bird. Those are our most
common admissions this time if year.
