#NewYork: Dozens of dead birds found on #LongIsland beach believed to have died from #AvianFlu

"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."
