      <image:caption>Therese McNamee, a Research Scientist in the Wildlife Health Unit at the NY Department of Wildlife Conservation (DEC) examines a loon that was found deceased. The loon will be tested for H5N1 HPAI and, if the virus is not found, then examined for other causes of death to help researchers understand stressors impacting loons in New York.
