"A Long Island beachside community in #SuffolkCountyNY is worried about dozens of dead birds that have washed up on the shore and been found in backyards, especially because officials believe the birds died from avian flu.

"#PatchogueShores in #EastPatchogue has a private community beach. Earlier this week, Tim Jones, the vice president of their association, was walking along the beach with his family when he noticed many dead birds.

"'I saw three #seagulls, a #cormorant, and I got a count of 11 #ducks,' explained Jones.

"NBC New York walked with him and saw a dead gull, a dead #goose bobbing in the water and various other smaller birds strewn along the small stretch of sand.

"Jones contacted the Department of Environmental Conservation. The DEC said it appeared to be avian flu because there have been cases in Suffolk County and Nassau County before. Officials from the department urged the community to close the beach to avoid any contact with the dead birds."

I saw a couple of recent cases of #BirdFlu in #NYC. If the US Government won't tell us what's going on, we need to inform each other! Look for the hashtag #HPAINews for my posts about #H5N1.

NEW YORK (AP) — "Live poultry markets in New York City raced to sell off all their chickens and other fowl Friday after seven cases of avian flu were detected and state officials ordered markets in the metropolitan area to close for a week.

"Gov. Kathy Hochul said there was no immediate threat to public health and that the temporary closure of bird markets in the city and its# WestchesterCounty and #LongIsland suburbs came out of an abundance of caution. #AvianFlu has hit farms nationwide, led to the slaughter of millions of birds and driven up egg prices, though officials say no cases have been detected among humans in New York.

"The state order came after birds infected with the virus were found during routine inspections of live bird markets in the New York City boroughs of the #Bronx, #Brooklyn and #Queens. Those markets have to dispose of all poultry in a sanitary manner, according to the state’s order."
