avian botlism outbreak 1
Animal Care Manager Veronica Sandow examines a ruddy duck that is unable to stand on Friday. A cushion has been taped to the duck to protect its underside. The Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center took in 50 birds out of Tulare County on Friday that are suffering from avian botulism (SAMANTHA SCHMIDT/The Journal).
A makeshift triage center is being set up Friday afternoon on the grounds of the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center, just a few hundred feet from the Tuolumne River.
