HPAI Early Detection Data System (HEDDS)
It’s only been just a little while since the official bird flu testing results in the USA have been provided in a much easier format to receive and review. This is very good news. The mailing list is one way to review the latest data. Another is to use their RSS feeds.

Just as a reminder–
HPAI is highly pathogenic avian influenza (particularly the H5N1 strain)
LPAI is low pathogenic avian influenza
“Bird flu” of the pandemic concern (H5N1) HAS been detected in wild birds in the USA and North America. It is of low pathogenicity (LPAI).

Just as people must share seal meat and oil to maintain physical and social well-being, so, too, must they share knowledge --> that their minds will not rot.

  • Ptarmigan hunting
    Ive always considered myself to be more of a stream outdoorsman, but living in Alaska you are given so many opportunities to play in the field as well. I recently, last weekend, took up one such opportunity and borrowed the schools snow machine and joined Mr. Smith (6th grade teacher) on a x-tundra adventure to hunt some ptarmigan. Ptarmigan are kind of like […]
  • Katja and the powder bowl
    The winds are finally blowing consistently out of the south, which means that the temperatures are slowly going to be warming up. This is already evident, because the snow is getting heavy and slushy. Some areas of tundra are completely exposed where the wind kept the snow from sticking.Here are some pics in rememberance of the winter playground that I deeme […]
  • The Melt Down
    So its starting to really thaw and run big streams of water everywhere through town. My front yard is a total bog even after I created the levy you see here through the snow. It took two attempts to complete it and even a little from some of my former students. The water has been flowing steady for about a week now, and there is still tons of snow throughout […]
  • We're melting away
    Alaska is a difficult place to live in for most of the year and during the winter especially, but the in between seasons are my least favorite times of the year. Fall and Spring. In the fall, the rains turn everything into mud, which gets tracked everywhere. On top of that, when it dries, it turns into dust, especially in carpeted areas. Our whole school […]
  • Fishing in the Fall
    So last weekend, I made one last voyage up the Alakugaq to fill my freezer. I actually wasn't planning to keep any fish, but when I caught some good size fish, I changed my mind. I had decided to hike farther up river than I had ever been before. I also had dinner plans for 6 pm, so I knew that I couldn't spend too much time exploring. I rod […]
