Your drone footage is awesome love seeing the birds. All the dead geese 😢

[@MrNikonshooter]

Thank you. I would rather not have this opportunity, but we sometimes nature's "bad" happens in our backyard. I am unable to ignore it.

We counted 41 dead geese at 2:00 pm today. There were 19 eagles feeding on the carcasses. Bad deal.

What state is this?

[@wayne_vt]

Terribly sad stuff.

It doesn't look like there are many ducks using that spot at all. Hopefully they left for a spot that doesn't have a bunch of sick birds in it

I think we need to calm down with calling this a disease dead zone. Why are the swans not dying. The first video was days after duck season and you can see the number of dead ducks. Now duck season is close and goose season is still open funny all the birds that are dying are geese. Hunters come from miles away to hunt here. The last three months it as bin WW 3 out there. Yes, goose hunting is closed out there,But everybody rides the line around it. I am a avid outdoorsman and hunted it the past 3 months and seen nothing like this. I've been out checking water around this place for ice fishing and I have Encountered no other dead geese or brids. If it's contagious how come the eagles and swans aren't dying. There is a lot of birds just to say it's the wounded ones, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's an outbreak.
