According to local outlet NJ, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has received reports of over 1,100 dead geese between Saturday and Monday.

Wildlife pathologists are currently conducting tests on the geese to figure out what caused the birds to become sick.

Pathologist Patrick Connelly speculates the deaths may be due to avian bird flu.
