Scientists perform postmortem examination of double-crested cormorantWildlife disease experts at the USGS National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, WI examine a double-crested cormorant while wearing full biosafety gear. The postmortem examination, also known as a necropsy, gives the scientists clues to what may have caused the animal to die. Examination of wild birds is important to detect pathogens that could imp
