Re: sick & dying quail

Deedee and all,

In addition to the information Marvis provided, here's a link to a recent
DWR news release on West Nile Virus.  At the end of the article you'll find
contact information for all DWR regions to report dead and dying birds.
There's also a link to an on-line submission form.  Utah Birds posted this
article and others on Aug 13, but another round won't hurt:
