I just came across a report on recent observations of H5N1 in Russia.
As I read it, in areas where H5N1 had been occurred they sampled (shot)
appparently healthy wild birds and tested them.  Species testing positive
include (their spelling);

little grebe
Pochard
teal
garganey
coot
nothern shovler
green sandpiper
sandpiper
oyster-catcher
black-winged stilt
white headed plover
Phalarope
laughing gull
herring gull
sparrow-hawk
buzzard
pied wagtail
starling
crow
rook

Does look to support the view that wild bird are the vector there.
The report is at:
