Bruce MacDonald<p>Who knows where the time goes?</p><p>Strib: The prevalence of the virus is low statewide: 1,600 dairy farms were checked and only one tested positive. But state Agricultural Commissioner Thom Petersen said that is likely a short-term reprieve, as H5N1 bird flu could gain a foothold in the state this spring as migrating birds carry the virus north.</p><p>“We’re watching the migration very closely,” Petersen said. “I live on a river, and my anxiety level goes very high when I see the geese and the swans and everything that are returning at this time.”<br><a href="https://www.startribune.com/on-the-cusp-of-spring-migration-walz-urges-dollar4m-bird-flu-defense/601245667" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">startribune.com/on-the-cusp-of</span><span class="invisible">-spring-migration-walz-urges-dollar4m-bird-flu-defense/601245667</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdFlu</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a></p>
