However, they are on watch and testing the occasional dead bird.

We don't have any more crows, so I assume that West Nile got them. They used to be numerous and raucous. Or maybe it was the drought.

At any rate, I heard recently that you can catch West Nile from animals who ate infected animals. I have no idea whether that's true, but my cats definitely like to hunt. We find grisly little remains on our front steps almost every day.

They even used to kill crows back when we had crows.

So we all may have had West Nile and not even known it. The majority of people who get it are asymptomatic. The ones who get sick mostly have no worse symptoms than the flu.
