Authorities Investigating Reports of Dead and Sick Birds Around Arlington/DC Area

I saw some juvenile grackles behaving strangely at my bird bath. I later found a dead juvenile grackle in my yard. There have been a number of reports of dying birds in the Washington DC area. Has anyone else witnessed this? Is there a place on iNaturalist to document sightings of strange behavior or deaths?

Welcome to the Forum! That’s sad news. There is a project that collects information on Dead Birds: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/dead-birds

Maybe the West Nile Virus season has begun.
