SPECIAL INTEREST
Collaborative sampling effort between WS and Salish Kootenai
Indians (July 2008)
WDB Wiscomb contacted the Salish Kootenai Indian Reservation
to coordinate HPAI surveillance
during their duck banding the first part of September. They requested
to use MT WS’s two air
cannons as the capture methods. Wiscomb spent time in July working on
the air cannons getting
them ready for the waterfowl capture on the reservation.
