"Unfortunately, there are a growing number of Avian Flu cases across the state and beyond. All of us need to be aware of the potential health risks posed to humans and be sure to report but not go near a dead bird as the chances are high that it will be infected," Fulgenzi said.
Anyone in town who finds a dead goose on public or town-owned property should contact the Mount Pleasant Police Department at 914-769-1941 to have a wildlife professional remove it.
Meanwhile, dead geese on private property should be reported to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for guidance.
