Murray County Lake - deceased/sick birds

12/9/2024

Numerous Murray County lakes have reported deceased or sick birds on or around county lakes. The MN DNR Wildlife Manager advises not to touch these birds, and to keep domestic animals clear of deceased birds. A specimen has been sent for testing to determine the cause of death. Once the MN DNR has the test results, they will follow up with more information. This has affected several counties in SW MN, as well as South Dakota, and states to our south.
