Flu deaths in wild birds raise concern

Waterfowl carry the avian influenza virus across the country as they migrate, leading to outbreaks in domestic poultry flocks. But this year, the virus is killing more wild birds than past outbreaks. Scientists are trying to understand what that means for the future of this virus. This is an MPR News morning update for Wednesday, April 20, 2022. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.

Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
