Please be advised:

The Colonial Regional PD is aware of reports of multiple deceased geese in the retention ponds located at the cul-de-sac of High Point Blvd and along Schoenersville Road in Hanover Township, Northampton County. The PA Game Commission is also aware of these incidents and are investigating the possibility of avian influenza (bird flu).
The public is advised that the Game Commission is working with a contracted testing facility to collect and examine the birds. The public is warned NOT to touch or try to collect any dead birds. It is also advised to keep pets and children away from the water.
The best course of action is to report any additional deceased birds to the PA Game Commission by calling their hotline at 1-833-PGC-WILD (742-9453).

UPDATE: Owner was located, drone was returned, case closed.

Are you missing your drone? We have found a drone from the Lower Nazareth area around Lower Nazareth Elementary school. It is in working condition, and still powers on. We believe it was a fly-away or lost connection. Serial number required to claim.
It's a DJI Mavic Pro.

We have already tried contacting DJI, FAA and searching the SD card with no success. It is not registered with the FAA.

UPDATE: Happy News! This handsome fella was adopted this morning! He and his new owner bonded well and he is off to his new forever home! We wish them a long wonderful life together!........................................................................................................................................
It's been over a week now that we have been trying to find placement for this guy without any success. We have tried many local shelters but unfortunately they are not able to take him in.
Does anyone know of a shelter with openings? Or better yet, if you are interested in checking him out and possibly adopting him, give our station a call at 610-861-4820. You can also go to our website for the adoption application.
