WEST NILE VIRUS SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM

DEAD BIRD SIGHTING REPORT FORM, 2008

This form is to be completed by members of the public wishing to report dead crows, ravens, magpies or jays. This information will be used by public health to help assess the risk to human health of West Nile Virus during 2008. Public reports of dead birds are useful and appreciated, however do not mean that a reported bird will be collected or tested. In BC, separate collection and testing programs are in place which operate independently of public reports. For information on how to safely dispose of dead birds, please click here.

Please complete a separate form for each location where dead birds were found.
