Other species can be adversely affected, though. One of the main reasons the disease was discovered was because of ailing birds at the Bronx Zoo (including a Bald Eagle).

Maybe someone out there does. Why does the West Nile virus seem to be only affecting crows and not other birds? Or is it that crows are the only birds being found? Maybe others are dying, but not being found? Thanks for any thoughts.
