State officials suspect the avian flu has killed dozens of wild birds in Boston, Amherst, and Plymouth, and farmers are stepping up precautions.

In most places in Massachusetts, it's the resident's responsibility to remove any dead animals on their property, but in this case, the dead geese are coming from the pond and washing ashore.

Bird flu is the suspected culprit after more than 60 geese, swans and ducks were found sick or dead in a Plymouth pond called Billington Sea.

Across the country, and in Massachusetts, egg prices are on the rise, a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Cases of suspected bird flu have impacted dozens of animals over the last two weeks and turned a Plymouth pond into a graveyard.
