This goal, and the goals of the national strategy and the Pacific Flyway strategy, is focused on early detection of HPAI H5N1 in wild migratory birds —not its prevalence over time, its rate of movement, or the ecology of the disease. This document is intended as a step-down approach from the draft U.S. Interagency Strategic Plan (Interagency HPAI Early Detection Working Group [IAEDWG ] 2006) and the Pacific Flyway strategic plan (Pacific Flyway Council 2006, as amended in 2007), as part of the National Early Detection System for HPAI H5N1. The objective of this document is to provide an implementation plan for sampling wild bird species for HPAI H5N1 in Washington State, including sampling priorities, focus periods, and target locations. Planning for these surveillance efforts for HPAI H5N1 has involved extensive cooperation among federal, state, and local agencies, including U.S. Department of Agriculture APHIS/Wildlife Services (USDA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Washington Interagency Avian Influenza Coordination Committee (including the agencies listed above and the Washington Department of Agriculture, Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Washington Department of Health, Washington Military Department, Washington Emergency Management Division).
