Capturing a Westwood minute in time. . . a snow goose was spotted in a flock of Canada geese recently, grazing on a grassy playing field.
A little research seems to indicate that a single snow goose joining a flock of Canada geese is not unusual, although as a group, the two species tend not to mix. I've never seen the sight in Westwood until now.

Reader Doug Smith sent Westwood Minute this photo of a snow goose in a school field in Germantown, MD. It appears to have been adopted into a flock of Canada geese. He says he first spotted it flying with the flock, as the last bird in formation, at least a month ago. Looks like the integration has been successful - it gets to stay!
I completely agree. Washington St. also has some terrible patches, especially the handicap ramps. I don’t understand why the DPW is responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of homes and businesses. It seems that those should be the responsibility of the property owner.
The sidewalks on High Rock and Hartford have been pretty treacherous this winter too. I didn't contact DPW about it though.
Sunny, with a high of 33 and low of 16 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
A true hero, though I'm not sure about the naming of the intersection after him. We already have a school named after him. Is there no one else who dedicated their life to this Town that the intersection could be named in memory of?
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps other candidates for a named intersection might be considered by the Select Board if presented with a petition or similar process as what was used here.
