This message from IBLE is primarily addressed to Idaho birders, but I'm sure they would welcome any info from Utah.

I have no knowledge if UDWR is conducting a similar investigation.

PASSING THIS INFORMATION ON FOR ALL FROM IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME!

HAVE YOU FOUND A DEAD BIRD?

We are asking for your help in locating sick or dead ducks, geese, swans and
shorebirds! Here's why:

Since late 2003, a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (bird flu) has
surfaced in more than 55 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
It has been found in some species of wild migratory birds, particularly
swans and geese.
The migratory patterns of waterfowl and shorebirds suggest the possibility
of moving this virus to the North American continent

The good news:

This virus has not been detected in any of the tens of thousands of
waterfowl and shorebird samples collected in North America.

To report sick or dead ducks, geese, swans or shorebirdsCall the Idaho Dead
Bird line toll free1-877-550-BIRD

Please call the Dead Bird Reporting Line when:

You find several ducks, geese or other waterbirds that are sick or dead.
You find any dead swans.

Please call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator when:

You find a bird with a broken wing or similar injury.
Please do not call this number when:

You find a dead bird that is not a duck, goose, swan or shorebird.
