Crows, blue jays, magpies, ravens are the most likely to die from it, 
but other birds can get sick and even die.  See:
(http://ohioline.osu.edu/wnv-fact/1000.html) and 
(http://www.plymouthmosquito.com/wnv.htm).  It is really quite rare 
to see dead adult birds lying about; I'd be inclined to report any i 
found.
