Mystery illness killing bald eagles in Utah

[Still Waters]

Scientists are struggling to find the cause of an alarming outbreak of deaths among bald eagles in Utah - and the majestic birds are dying from symptoms faster now than they were just weeks before.

State authorities say at least 16 eagles have died since the beginning of December, and many more could have succumbed to debilitating symptoms in the wild and have not yet been found.

Huh. I know little to nothing about bird infections, but I do hope "whatever" can be determined and treated.
