Description
On Highway 50 near Seymour, Indiana, there is a scene of sandhill cranes in the marsh: both dead and alive.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said this species is another victim of the bird flu.
"It's affecting waterfowl across the whole world," Eli Fleace, wildlife biologist for Indiana DNR, said. "It's been found in multiple different countries across a lot of different continents. It's so spread out, that it's even affected penguins down in Antarctica."
