Avian reovirus suspected after crow deaths in Snohomish County [View all]

EVERETT — Avian reovirus is suspected of killing about 17 crows so far this summer in Snohomish County, according to new data from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Kurt Licence, a district wildlife biologist for Island, San Juan and Snohomish counties, said it’s difficult to accurately estimate the number of crow deaths because not all of them are reported.

So Fish and Wildlife is asking birdwatchers to help.

“The public is our eyes and ears,” Licence said. “I’m one biologist covering three different counties. I can’t be everywhere at once, so we heavily rely on the public and their reports.”
