More Snow Geese Found Dead Amid Bird Flu Concerns in Lehigh Valley

Recent reports indicate that more snow geese in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, are suspected to be infected with a highly contagious strain of bird flu. Wildlife officials confirmed the presence of the virus among these migratory waterfowl earlier in January, leading to efforts by the Fish and Game Commission to cull sick geese and dispose of carcasses. The situation raises concerns about the potential spread of the virus and its impact on local wildlife and ecosystems. As the officials respond to the outbreak, the community is urged to remain vigilant and report any unusual wildlife behavior. The ongoing surveillance and management efforts are crucial in addressing the health crisis among bird populations in the region.
