Dead Geese Found Throughout State

Monmouth County Park System

In a Facebook post, the Monmouth County Park system warns that Park Rangers have observed dead and infirm Canada Geese in some of our parks this week.

Avian flu is suspected. They are working with State wildlife biologists to assess the extent of the outbreak. Visitors are urged not to touch dead or sick birds. And, according to News 12, Reports and sightings of dead birds are increasing in New Jersey at lakes, beaches, and parks. This includes the Swimming River Reservoir. It is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by American Water and despite the dozen dead geese spotted by drone, the water company says it poses no risk to the supply.
