A backyard poultry flock in Hawaii was infected with H5, but they think 
that it was brought in by birds using the West Pacific flyway migration 
route.  Some birds fly from Alaska down into the Pacific Islands.  They 
need to sequence it to make sure that it is the wild bird H5N1.  This is 
the first time Hawaii has been infected.  Infected birds likely die 
before they get to Hawaii.  Birds dead due to the Dairy virus are 
usually found on the dairies, and I do not know of any that have been 
found very far from an infected dairy.  They seem to die very soon after 
being infected.

The CIDRAP article claims that 41 more dairy farms have been confirmed 
since last Friday so the number of infected California herds is now 335 
herds (61% of the total) with 549 total herds in the US (the other 
states never did contact tracing and testing like California).
