Biologists still try to solve Deaths of Ducks

dead duckAccording to the local news outlets in Denver, state and federal biologists have ruled out several causes of more than 850 ducks last winter. Avian flu, heavy metal toxicity, and bacterial infections have been ruled out. This die out of ducks is the first of its kind in the nation, and it has certain biologists eager to find the root cause. Biologists believe that the ducks died from hypothermia after losing their water-proofing and getting wet, but the actual cause for the ducks losing their water-proofing is still unknown.
