http://codethreeblog.blogspot.com [CODE THREE] In the West China Province of Qinghai there is a bird sanctuary used by migratory birds on their way north from south east Asia. According to a report submitted on May 21 by the Chinese government to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), around April 15 an outbreak of H5N1 occurred in birds residing in the bird sanctuary. The report stated that laboratory testing has confirmed H5N1 killed 519 birds of five different species. That number now stands at over 1000 dead birds.

Having waited patiently through the emergency loya jirga, or national assembly, in June 2002, the approval of a new constitution at a second loya jirga in December 2003, and the presidential election last fall, Afghans are at a loss as to why the Karzai administration and its American backers repeatedly put their confidence in unqualified and often criminal officials.

But after five years, the nests have attracted more than just terns and black skimmers. The birds' predators -- sea gulls -- have come out in droves and are crashing into cars on Interstate 64, which connects southeastern Virginia to the mainland.
