More Than 600 Birds Found Dead On 2 Minn. Lakes

The cause of the bird deaths has been determined to be from Newcastle disease. Not harmful to humans.

That's good to hear. Thanks for the update Limit.

Hopefully it isn't harmful to fish and hopefully there aren't too many of the 'good waterfowl' affected by this disease.

Thank God. I drank a couple Newcastle's last night.

LOL, I was trying to remember where I heard that name before. Duh!

but they are all dead before the bald eagles get to them. There are a lot of eagles on Vermilion and I have never seen one actually catch a living fish. They mug ospreys and pick up floaters.

Is pigeon lake the lake on the east side of 15, visible from 15, north of Hutchinson where there is an island in the middle where everything is dead, no living plants on it?

Is this the lake with all the nest's out on the island that are visable from 15? I call it a Rookery. Not sure of the spelling but I beleieve I have been by there before. Its a shame if it is. I always enjoy that part of my drive as its always been a sight to see so to speak. hopefully this is an isolateded thing. What can anyone do in such a case?
