flag New York launches online tool to report bird flu cases after 290 detections across 35 species in 2025.

flag The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has launched an online form for the public to report bird flu cases, following a rise in detections across 35 species in 2025, with 290 cases reported. flag The tool helps track the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, which has spread to wild and domestic animals including muskrats and squirrels, though no human or cattle cases have been confirmed in the state. flag Officials urge people to report sick or dead birds, avoid contact, use protective gear, and properly dispose of carcasses, as managing the disease in wild populations is not feasible. flag The peak reporting season is expected in late fall and early winter.
