Dead robin found in Lake Arrowhead tests positive for the disease

The first animal found to carry the West Nile virus in San Bernardino county was found last week in the western shore area of Lake Arrowhead.

County public health department personnel are now beginning wide-spread tests on mosquitoes in the area in an attempt to assess the risk to local residents.

Now is a great time to remind everyone to help control the mosquito population by dumping any containers with standing water and by turning any potential containers such as trash-can lids, flower-pots, etc, upside down so they cannot gather water. One of those fancy high-powered bug-zappers can also help, while being fun to watch at the same time.
