*Public Health Announcement**

The Town has received reports of deceased birds on Short Beach. A similar situation occurred in June of 2022. Our neighboring communities are currently experiencing similar findings. We have communicated with Mass Wildlife and Environmental Police and the advice received is do not touch the birds. Please make sure your pets are leashed and keep them away from the birds. Nahant Police, Department of Public Works, and Animal Control are aware of this situation so no need to call. The Commonwealth is investigating the cause of death and we will share more information as we receive it.

If you find deceased birds on your property, please follow the advice from the USDA in the flyer below.
