Happy #WaterWednesday! USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center Hydrologist Laura Hubbard recently visited Cumberland Island National Seashore and stopped for a selfie with USGS Water Resources streamgage 02228295!

Is wild bird aquatic habitat a reservoir and source of avian influenza virus? Scientists from USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center, USGS OKI - Ohio.Kentucky.Indiana, @USGS_IA and University of Georgia are working to answer this question and more. #usgs #wildlifewednesday #avianflu #avianinfluenza #hydrology #microbiology

It's #FieldPhotoFriday at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wisconsin DNR Horicon National Wildlife Refuge! USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center Hydrologist Laura Hubbard is sampling for infectious #avianinfluenza around the region to answer the question "is wild bird aquatic habitat a reservoir and source of avian influenza virus?"

If there's something strange in the neighborhood...Who you gonna call? Bugbusters!🪲 It’s not a proton pack, it’s a bug collector! The USGS, USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center, @USGS_IL, ND_SWEL, ND-ECI, Duke Biology, & McMaster SEES collected stream water, bed sediment, and a wide range of... 1/3

#TravelTuesday Our scientists sometimes work beyond the midwest! #Hydrologist Laura Hubbard snapped a selfie at #USGS #streamgagesinthewild 15297610 at Russel Creek near Cold Bay, Alaska, while researching avian influenza virus in the environment. waterdata.usgs.gov/ak/nwis/uv?sit…

Is highly pathogenic avian influenza isolated from wetlands in #Alaska during the fall migration? Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is an important migration stopover with more than 82 bird species documented. #USGS #FieldPhotoFriday #alaskawildlife #wildlifehealth #munpix 1/3

For over 10 years, USGS Alaska, in partnership with USFWS Alaska and University of Georgia Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, has been sampling waterfowl for avian influenza virus to better understand intercontinental dispersal and diversity of the viruses. 2/3

This year, in addition to sampling #waterfowl, wetlands frequented by waterfowl were sampled for infectious #avianinfluenza virus to determine if the virus subtypes isolated from wetlands match the subtypes isolated from waterfowl in the refuge. #wildliferesearch #izembek 3/3

It's #WildlifeWednesday! Our USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center team, along with USGS Alaska and USFWS Alaska ran into a variety of Alaskan wildlife while in the field sampling for avian influenza virus at Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Cold Bay, #Alaska. #USGS #munpix #hydrologist 1/2

The birds are on the move! 🦆 #wildlifewednesday Waterfowl migration gives USGS scientists the opportunity to track infectious avian influenza in water. Recently, USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center Research Hydrologist Laura Hubbard was able to tag along on a waterfowl banding program with LaWildlife&Fisheries! 1/2

The path from farm to table starts with healthy animals. USGS scientists are tracking avian influenza in water and soil to prevent outbreaks before they reach poultry farms and dairy herds. Our work = more eggs and milk on your shelves! 👉ow.ly/vHj350VhoPc
