A woman in southeast Wyoming is hospitalized due to bird flu, marking the state's first human case of Type A H5N1 influenza. This comes as bird flu spreads through both wild birds and some animals in the U.S.
FILE - Day-old duck hatchlings crawl around inside an incubator at Crescent Duck Farm, in Aquebogue, N.Y., Oct. 29, 2014.
