The US won't get bird flu. There are no infected swans flying from

I'm not ornithologist enough to know if there are significant
numbers of birds that migrate from ~China~ to ~Alaska~ via Beringia/
Sea of Okhotsk. But given the existence of lots of other
tropics-to-arctic migration routes, I'd give pretty good odds that
there are flyways between those two regions. And once it's in the
Arctic in the summer ... it'll be in Texas come late Autumn.

Who's the local US twitcher? George? Oh, George is saying pretty
much the same in the next post in my reader.
