Mystery illness thinning state s bird population | Editorials

Mystery illness thinning state s bird population The case of what s killing birds across Indiana remains a mystery. And it appears state officials are no closer to solving it. The state Department of Natural Resources in late May began receiving reports of sick and dying songbirds – 400 of them so far, including blue jays, American robins, Northern cardinals, starlings and common grackles. They have been found in Allen and at least 50 other counties. The birds have tested negative for West Nile virus, avian influenza, salmonella and other known illnesses. Samples have been sent to a state laboratory, and Indiana officials are working with the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center to investigate.
