SALT LAKE CITY — Utah wildlife officials say six counties now have confirmed bird flu cases in wild birds.
Ten infected birds have been found in Cache, Weber, Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele and Carbon counties. They include Canada geese, great horned owls, hawks, pelicans, turkey vultures and ducks, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said.
Officials are awaiting test results from other dead birds, the division said in a Thursday news release.
Two pelicans found May 13 and a Canada goose found May 16 on the Scofield Reservoir shore are among the most recent bird deaths tied to the sickness. All three were collected by wildlife officials and sent to state facilities for testing.
