Game Commission Monitoring Avian Influenza in Wild Birds

This winter, avian influenza viruses have continued to circulate in wild birds across Pennsylvania, and more birds will be migrating to and through the state in the coming weeks.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission continues to respond to the outbreak, and is asking the public to report any wild birds observed sick or found dead.

Reports can be phoned in to 1-833-PGC-WILD (1-833-742-9453). Submitting reports allows the Game Commission to step in with wildlife-management actions including dispatching sick wild birds, recovering and removing carcasses, pursuing diagnostic testing, and conducting stakeholder outreach. The Game Commission does not advise that the public handle any abnormal, injured, sick or dead wildlife unless authorized to do so.

While avian influenza typically does not affect bird species that frequent birdfeeders – and there’s no prohibition on feeding birds during the outbreak – birdfeeders and bird baths should be emptied every couple of weeks, washed with soapy water, rinsed, then disinfected with a 10% household bleach solution before refilling. If noticing multiple sick or dead birds over a short period of time, taking feeders down and emptying bird baths helps ensure a potential outbreak is not made worse.

More information about avian influenza is available through the Game Commission’s website.

Middle Creek Wildlife Area issues advisory on bird flu as snow geese migration intensifies

Susan Miers Smith, Reading Eagle, Pa.
Tue, March 3, 2026 at 9:35 AM EST

The Pennsylvania Game Commission has put up an advisory about highly pathogenic avian influenza, also known as bird flu or HPAI, at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, the 6,000-acre preserve that straddles Lancaster and Lebanon counties.

It’s a popular birding spot, particularly this time of year when flocks of up to 150,000 migrating snow geese and many other waterfowl gather on the thawing waters.

Visitors are advised to report sightings of sick or dead wild birds by calling 833-PGC-WILD (742-9453) and to never approach or handle sick or dead birds.

“At this time, we are aware of some deceased birds on the main lake at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area,” the announcement on the Middle Creek website stated. “Due to current conditions, no safe retrieval can take place.”

Signs posted at several locations on the grounds warn of the bird flu outbreak and advise visitors to watch wildlife from a distance, avoid bird feces and to not feed or handle wildlife.

​Laura Richmond, manager at Middle Creek, said they are still welcoming visitors and just want them to be aware cases of HPAI are being seen. An outdated advisory from last year appeared on the PGC website early Monday warning visitors to stay in their vehicles, she said.
