I do the same for the Southern California coast and a flock of crows that fly over twice each day.  I have seen nothing, not one dead bird....yet.

Good idea!! the average alert citizen will do a lot of good like that.
I 'm german and live in the US. So when germany reported it's first cases of the virus I read a lot of articles from overthere. It really suprised me that average citizens set out to look for birds on their own initiative -one article mentioned that the german military found 4 more birds in one suspect area  and the town people found more than 20, ha.

As an amateur Ornithologist, and drive alot for my job, I have been looking a little more intently, and have noticed nothing unusual as of yet.  I rather expect to see it first in Vultures as they consume infected birds and mammals.  They are large and very noticable.  Seagulls are another possibility if they come in contact with pelagic birds, or other birds that follow the fleets.
