Sick and dying songbirds have now been found in 69 counties across Indiana, up from 53 two weeks ago. That is now three-quarters of the state s counties.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources continues to investigate the issue and possible causes, and the agency could not provide information as to when results might be ready.
The sick songbirds were first found in Monroe County in late May.
Since then, hundreds of other birds with similar symptoms have been reported in 68 other counties in all four corners of the state, including Clark, Floyd and Harrison counties.
Diseased birds have also been found in at least six Kentucky counties, including Jefferson. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife officials identified approximately 250 cases of the mysterious illness out of over 1,400 reported dead birds as of July 2 and have asked residents in affected counties to take down bird feeders.
