Summary

In May 2022, a Beaver Island forum notice relayed Michigan DNR advice to avoid handling sick or dead wild birds during regional avian-influenza concern and to use protective handling and hand-washing if movement was unavoidable.

Evidence limits

The named DNR source improves the notice’s provenance, but the forum does not preserve the original bulletin or establish a confirmed island case.

Sources

Jennifer Kleitch, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, relayed in “Avian Influenza,” Beaver Island Forum, May 6, 2022.
The post attributes handling advice and reports of dead eagles under testing to a named DNR wildlife biologist. The forum preserves a community relay, not the original DNR bulletin or a Beaver Island case determination.
