"I'd like to go for a swim..."
Sometimes, you just need to get across the street... Luckily for this large group of Canada Geese, the traffic at Horn Pond obliged! Do you think they went for a swim after they crossed?

Keep small pets inside; mange is contagious to animals, humans.
The appearance of a mangy red fox on the West Side has alarmed many residents, including several Woburn Patch readers. The fox appeared at Horn Pond on Aug. 27, causing many walkers and visitors to the pond to run to their cars. Walter Smith photographed the fox and said that the animal ate a bit of grass, scavenged from a paper bag someone had tossed in the parking lot, and then wandered off across Pond Street. The fox has been seen at Horn Pond, on the street, and even on a porch! Woburn Police have reported seeing the fox in the area, but the city's animal control officer does not have a permit to trap a wild animal, such as a fox.

Crazy like a fox?
Walter Smith captured this fox with his camera on Monday afternoon at Horn Pond. The fox was already badly injured, as you can see from the photo, when he appeared in the Horn Pond parking area. Many people went to the safety of their cars, said Smith. "The animal's behavior was very unusual," he added. "It ate a bit of grass, scavenged from a paper bag someone had tossed in the parking lot, and then... the fox wandered off across Pond Street towards the southeast." Thanks to Walter for sharing this incredible photo! Do you have a picture you'd like to share with us for Photo of the Day? Remember, all POTD come from readers, so without you, we have no photos!

I'm with Maria on this one. I'm about as stron a swimmer as you'll ever find (and fairly buoyant to boot), but I always wear a life vest on the water. Automatic inflatables are the easiest to deal with. That poor man. more ›
