As the bird flu continues to spread across the U.S., the Michigan Department of Natural Resources says it is widespread among wild birds in the state, with more than 300 dead wild birds found in five counties suspected of being killed by the virus.

More than 300 dead geese and other waterfowl have been discovered in five counties, and bird flu is likely to blame, officials say.

Dead wild birds recently sampled across several Lower Peninsula counties are suspected to be positive for bird flu.

A growing number of wild birds are being found dead in Michigan, believed to have contracted the bird flu that’s decimated commercial poultry farms nationwide.
