TOWN OF WYOCENA -- As Airling “Butch” Gunderson strolls through his farm, he sees a nesting goose, about a half-dozen roosters strutting around a feed bowl and some duck hens engaging in a wing-flapping fight over whose turn it is to use the birdbath.
What he doesn’t see: The scary signs of a virulent avian flu that has spread into Wisconsin.

Butch is an old friend and a very knowledgeable poultry keeper, breeder and judge. Here's to the best for him and his birds!
