GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - Officials at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary say they have decided to shut down one of their public trails due to recent reports of suspected illnesses in wild waterfowl.
According to a release, the public will no longer be able to access and walk around on the Raptor Trail until further notice as a way to reduce possible exposure to the birds that the sanctuary has in captivity.
