On September 19, 2016, a Beaver Island forum notice reported that a dead cormorant found along the Charlevoix County shoreline had tested positive for Newcastle disease. The notice asked residents to report dead cormorants and recommended gloves, eye protection, and double-bagging when handling them.

Evidence limits

The post is a local relay of an agency-related warning. It does not establish that Beaver Island birds were infected, nor does it substitute for the laboratory report or DNR incident record.
