Dead geese found near Taunton lake being tested for bird flu

The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) is investigating after a number of dead Canada geese were spotted near Lake Sabbatia in Taunton earlier this week.

 

Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh said upwards of nine dead geese were found on the lake and are being tested for the bird flu.

 

This comes after MassWildlife and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced that the deaths of more than 60 Canada geese, swans and ducks at Plymouth’s Billington Sea were “likely caused” by the bird flu.
