It would certain put a lot questions to rest ... do we know if they had any plans to test her for HPAI or conduct a necropsy?

They local authorities picked up her body so I expect they will. I haven't heard anything 'official' yet but given how it's spreading everywhere, I would expect them to do it.

The new female was north of the site at the other location - there is always one there hanging out. I expect she came in because he kept calling and calling for Beauty but she never responded as she seemed to be in a sort of trance for hours. It was the weirdest thing.
Beauty was a strong female, she has had her share of battles for sure but it was the way she died TPC..it was similar to Chayton. She didn't even go into the nest box, she just stood outside facing the nest box - literally right in front of it for hours as if she was a statue...and when she passed she was still standing up with her wings out.
You may be right but I'd feel better if she was tested to say for sure.

thanks for sharing the results Carolyn, very much appreciated.

It could well be but given that there was a younger female in the nestbox the day after Beauty died and who now is incubating 4 eggs, a territorial fight has to be considered a possibility. Not sure which would be preferable ... neither is pleasant ...

Beauty seemed to act the same before she died. Sad!
