  11. Hype for the Future 96D: Concord University — Athens, West Virginia

    Introduction The Town of Athens, West Virginia, is located in the northeastern portion of Mercer County, home to the notable, historically-black Concord University.

Transportation While the Town of Athens, and much of West Virginia in general, lacks significant transportation infrastructure, the university campus is internally walkable […]

  19. #H5N1 strikes more poultry in 4 states; #CDC updates details on recent human cases

    Lisa Schnirring, February 24, 2025

    "In new H5N1 avian flu confirmations today, the US Department of Agriculture (#USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (#APHIS) reported that the virus hit more flocks in four states, including another massive layer farm in Ohio, the nation’s second biggest poultry producer.

    "Over the past several weeks, Ohio has been one of main outbreak epicenters, with one of the latest events involving a commercial farm in #DarkeCounty that has more than 3 million birds, according to APHIS. The virus also struck another layer farm in Ohio’s #MercerCounty, a facility that has nearly 85,000 birds.

    "Elsewhere, the virus struck two more commercial farms in #Indiana, another hard-hit state. The latest outbreaks occurred at a turkey farm in Washington County and a commercial duck-breeding facility in Elkhart County. The virus was also confirmed in #backyard birds in two states, a location in #Florida’s #BrowardCounty and a location in #NewYork’s Delaware County.

    "Over the last 30 days alone, ongoing H5N1 outbreaks have led to the loss of nearly 19 million birds.

    "In #dairy herd developments, over the last few days, APHIS confirmed one more detection, which involves another herd from #Nevada. The state now has eight affected herds. Since the virus first emerged in dairy cattle about a year ago, detections have been reported in 973 herds across 17 states."

  20. Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) at Abbott Marshlands

    Sunday 12 January 2025 I was just about ready to pack up and head home when I noticed a group of Northern Pintails (Anas acuta), along with some Gadwalls and Mallards, gathered on the frozen wetland. Of course, that meant I wasn’t leaving just yet. In the first shot, a male Northern Pintail stands on the ice, his sleek form and striking plumage catching the light. That rich chocolate-brown head, crisp white neck, and sharp black accents make him look almost regal. The frozen marsh, with […]

  22. Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) at Abbott Marshlands

    Saturday 11 January 2025 I was just about ready to pack up after photographing a Green-winged Teal (Anas crecca) and Gadwall at Abbott Marshlands. The crisp January air had that unmistakable stillness—the kind that settles in just before you decide to call it a day. I slung my camera over my shoulder, took one last look around, and that’s when a Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) flew right over my head. If you’ve spent time birding, you know these moments are fleeting. There’s […]
