First Outbreak of Usutu Virus in Germany
10,000 Birds
FEBRUARY 5, 2012

Species that were apparently less affected were Corvids, pigeons/doves, the Paridae, sparrows, warblers, and Black Redstarts. I frequently observed Blackbirds walking on the ground like rodents, even ducking under low tufts of grass.
