Avian Influenza H5N6 — Sweden
A machine translation erroneously translated the names of birds from a news report in Swedish (“en havsörn, en duvhök och en ormvråk”) into English (“a sea eagle, a pigeon, and a buzzard”). The correct common and scientific names of the affected wild birds are: white-tailed eagle, _Haliaeetus albicilla_ (havsörn in Swedish); northern goshawk, _Accipiter gentilis_ (duvhök in Swedish); and common buzzard, _Buteo buteo_ (ormvråk in Swedish).
