(Minneapolis, MN) -- The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota is confirming its first bird flu case since January.

Center officials say the adult female red-tailed haw was admitted to its hospital on March 25th.

Officials say the bird died overnight and a test later came back positive for bird flu.

The Raptor Center cared for more than 200 birds with the virus last year, with only one surviving.
