Duck hunters in the Mid-Columbia and Tri-Cities area have been seeing hundreds of dead ducks (not killed by hunting) but just dead in their natural habitat.Experts with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services have determined a massive die-off of ducks, and other birds, is being caused by the Avian Cholera.
