Hi

I just got a report, including a photo, of a dead Yellow-throated Vireo, from a friend living in Denver

Bob, 

That's a bummer. If you have a moment, please consider submitting a report here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/southwest-avian-mortality-project . iNaturalist is trying to collect data on the bird die-off event that took place earlier this month. Might be connected, might not. Worth reporting in either event.

When dead birds are found, it's best to freeze them in a bag, after 
recording details of place, date, etc. Then notify the Denver Museum
of Nature and Science. They'll do a detailed necropsy, check for all kinds
 of things - parasites, etc.
Then contact Jeff Stephensons, collections manager
