In a joint statement, environmental and public health officials said that the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus is suspected to be the cause of death in both wild and domestic birds in several Massachusetts municipalities. The state has seen recurring incidents of the virus since early 2022, and earlier this month, officials said it was likely the cause of death for dozens of geese, swans, and other birds in Plymouth.
