The bird flu epidemic has reached the East End. H5N1 bird flu avian influenza has been detected at Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue. The last remaining duck farm on Long Island was forced to shut down and euthanize its entire flock of roughly 99,000 birds. Whether it will be able to reopen in time is still up in the air. RiverheadLOCAL Co-Publisher Denise Civiletti joins the editors to discuss her coverage of the sudden closure.
