  1. it is quiet out there

    It is quiet out there now. She
    Takes her hat, stick and forage bag,

    Into which she slips her pruners, then
    Slides her feet into green clogs, feeling

    Quite exurban-agrarian, ready to look
    Under brush piles and into cottonwoods --
    In every place that might consent to harbor
    Even a hint of birds' music. They have flown,
    The silence tells her; those that haven't died.

    Out along the roadside she waves to cars,
    Understanding her neighbors have to drive,
    Then pockets up crabapples, berries, leaves

    That now are turning away from green: cat's ear,
    High mallow, chicory, plantain, sow thistle, her
    Ears pricked for passing flights of geese.
    Really, thinks she to herself, there ought
    Even now to be more birds. There are

    Not so many feral cats round here as that.
    Or could it be the sprays? She supposes
    War has been declared. A war on song.

  19. Within the grips of bird flu, millions of lives have been lost, snatched away just days before they were set to be killed anyway for farmers' profits. The cruel irony of a system that values profit over lives exposed.

In recent years, it has also expanded into new areas, including the Arctic, where it may impact vulnerable wildlife populations and fragile ecosystems.”

  35. New #mutations help the #H5N1 #birdflu #virus infect cows but not people
    The mutations target a specific sugar on the surface of cows’ cells
    Specifically, two mutations commonly found in H5N1 #viruses infecting dairy cattle now allow the bird flu viruses to grip the sugar N-glycolylneuraminic acid, or NeuGc. Grasping this cattle sugar made it easier for H5N1 bird #flu viruses to infect and grow in mammary tissue from cows, the researchers found.
