If I find a dead bird, what should I do?

If you find that a bird has died under odd circumstances between the months of April-October, call Environmental Health at 309-929-0272. The bird may be tested for West Nile Virus, if it meets specific criteria, listed here: http://www.dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/diseases-and-conditions/west-nile-virus/dead-bird-collection
