What information do I need to provide when reporting multiple dead birds

1. Location: Provide the specific location where you found the dead birds, either by dropping a pin on a map or entering an address. This helps track the geographic spread of any potential outbreak.

2. Number of Birds: Indicate that you have found three or more dead wild birds in a specific area within a two-week period. This threshold helps wildlife agencies identify potential clusters or outbreaks.

3. Species (if known): If possible, provide the species of the dead birds. This information can help wildlife agencies understand which bird populations are being impacted.

4. Date/Time Found: Note the date and time you discovered the dead birds. This temporal data is important for tracking the timeline of an outbreak.

5. Cause of Death (if known): If you have any information about the suspected cause of death, such as window strike or predation, include those details.

6. Photos: Uploading photos of the dead birds can assist wildlife agencies in confirming the species and assessing the condition of the carcasses.

7. Contact Information: Providing your name and email address allows wildlife agencies to follow up with you for additional information or clarification, if needed.

The key is to report clusters of three or more dead wild birds in a specific area to the relevant state wildlife agency or conservation organization. This helps them monitor for potential disease outbreaks and take appropriate response actions.
