	Reporting Dead Birds
		Not all localities are collecting information on dead birds or testing them.
		Individual programs may include testing mosquitoes or dead birds for the virus, collecting phone reports of dead birds, collecting information about other animals that can be infected, such as chickens or horses, and providing community education and outreach.
		During previous years the finding of positive birds in some areas early in the season was associated with having human cases later in the season, but birds that tested positive late in the season did not indicate where human cases might occur. For this reason testing of dead birds after mid July is not encouraged.
