Federal wildlife officials raised the alarm Wednesday after three fatal cases of bird flu were detected in California condors found in Northern Arizona.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal wildlife officials raised the alarm Wednesday after three fatal cases of bird flu were detected in California condors found in the Arizona-Utah flock.
Crews continued to monitor the bird and others showing similar behavior. On March 20, they collected the deceased female below her nest. Upon testing, it was confirmed she was infected with the bird flu. Additionally, wildlife officials said, five other birds displaying signs of illness were captured and sent to Liberty Wildlife in Phoenix for care and testing. One of the birds died shortly after arrival. The remaining four have been quarantined while samples are being tested for any sign of the contagious and deadly virus.
So far, officials said, the virus has not been detected in any condors nesting in Northern or Southern California.
