We’re sorry to announce that the Oakland and Macomb country DNR service has decided to cancel the live goose roundup for the 2015 season due to concerns that have emerged from the discovery of a goose carrying the Avian Flu in Macomb County.

Michigan is the 21st state to report incidences of this virus in addition to the Ontario province in Canada. At this time, it has only been reported among wild bird populations and has not been found to have infected domestic birds or humans.

This has also led to the cancellation of all poultry and waterfowl exhibitions in Michigan for the rest of 2015. You can read more about this here.

UPDATE [6.11.15]

Please report any dead water fowl or strange-acting birds immediately to the Duck Lake hotline: 248.887.0824. DO NOT TOUCH these birds.

The proper authorities will be notified to come an collect the bird. All geese will be collected within a 10 mile radius of an infected bird.
