John et al,
Lots of dead "white" (Snow/Ross's) geese apparent at John Martin Res/Lake Hasty two weeks ago. This area is historically hunted heavily but my sense was the number of birds lying/floating around was more than would be a typical incidence of hunter cripples. A few Canada/Cackling Geese are showing up at Sheldon Lake in Fort Collins City Park.

Subject: [cobirds] Dead and Dying Geese in Thorton CO
All:
Several dead Canada and Cackling geese found at Hunter's Glen Reservoir and Eastlake in Thornton yesterday (12/7/25). I'm guessing these are cases of Avian Influenza coming back to haunt us. I haven't seen any recent state reports of the what the status of avian influenza are in the state, but there were articles about 8 months ago that it was still a danger (to birds) in Colorado.
Is anyone else seeing die offs in other locations?
