Condor chicks die of West Nile virus
BOISE -- Efforts to save the critically endangered California condor suffered a minor setback last week when four 3-month-old chicks died of the West Nile virus, biologists said.
Their deaths leave just eight condor hatchlings at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, where biologists have been breeding the federally protected scavengers since 1994.
These are the first condors to die from the mosquito-borne virus at the center.
California condors number just 299, with 159 in captivity and 140 in the wild in Arizona, California and Mexico, the Arizona Game and Fish Department said.

I thought DDT was bad for birds?
