This is very sad news.
Looks like we all need to keep a lookout and report.
Could it be the Avian flu?

There are more 100 dead snow geese and gulls at the Deer Flat NWR lower dam. I’ve reported the birds to the IDFG link that Tempe sent out a week or so ago. I’ve also sent photos to the refuge staff.
If anyone sees dead birds in other areas of the refuge please report them.
