HELENA - Six pelicans have tested positive for West Nile virus, the first confirmed cases of the disease in the state this year, Montana health officials said Wednesday.
The birds, which were nesting at a waterfowl refuge in northeastern Montana, were found dead July 19.

All six birds were born this summer, said Kathryn Converse, a federal wildlife disease specialist. She said 2,000 pelicans at the refuge were diagnosed with West Nile last year.
