Mosquito Tests Positive For West Nile Virus in San Antonio

From KSAT.com:
The first mosquito to test positive for West Nile virus in Bexar County was discovered recently on the Southeast Side.

San Antonio Metropolitan Health officials said the mosquito came from routine samples taken Friday off Roosevelt Avenue. Tests on Wednesday confirmed the findings.
Why the heck did I mention this? Because every time I work anywhere on the southside I see way too many dead birds, which have apparently not died due to violence. A few weeks ago I saw two doves in one day that were in the process of dying when I saw them, just sitting there, about half-keeled over, too weak to even flop away when I walked past them.
