Bird flu detected in Sac County turkey flock
SAC COUNTY, Iowa — Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has been detected in a commercial turkey flock in Sac County. According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), this is the fourth detection of bird flu in Iowa this year. Other detections include a commercial turkey flock in Buena Vista County, a commercial layer flock in O'Brien County, and a multi-species backyard flock in Clinton County. Des Moines shooting victim identified as 25-year-old man Bird flu is known to infect both wild and domestic birds, as well as dairy cows and humans. Bird flu is typically fatal to domestic birds, and while there have been instances of fatal bird flu cases in cows the IDALS said with supportive care dairy cows can recover. In 2024 Iowa saw its first human case of bird flu and in January of this year a patient in Louisiana died after battling the disease. The Centers for Disease Control said the threat to the public remains low. To learn more about bird flu and its signs and symptoms visit the IDALS' website.

It's baby season! Blank Park Zoo welcomes twin cotton-top tamarins
DES MOINES, Iowa — Baby season at zoos typically begins in the spring, but at the Blank Park Zoo the delightful season came early. On Wednesday zoo officials announced the birth of twin cotton-top tamarins. The twins were born on Tuesday to mother, Kida, and father, Eddie. They join Kida's other twins, Caitlin and Clark, who were born nearly one year ago on February 22, 2024. Boys State Wrestling Tourney starts; changes for fans at venue According to Blank Park Zoo, cotton-top tamarins are one of the most endangered primates in the world. Due to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade it's estimated that the wild population of cotton-top tamarins is less than 6,000. The birth of the twins marks an important step in ensuring the survival of the species, the zoo said. 'The birth of these twins is a wonderful moment for not only Blank Park Zoo, but for the conservation of this critically endangered species,' Anne Shimerdla, president and CEO of Blank Park Zoo, said. 'Through our partnership with the AZA's Species Survival Plan and Proyecto Tití, we are making a meaningful impact on the future of cotton-top tamarins.' The zoo said the public will have the chance to name the newborns later this spring, just like they did with naming Caitlin and Clark. Visitors can see the twins in the Discovery Center. The zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Iowa News: Bird flu detected in Sac County turkey flock It's baby season!
