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!

The cost of $27,000 could have been avoided if the tax payers were notified about the idea of taking the WLT to court and it was discussed at a regular town meeting. Especially when a town takes the unusual step of taking its own land trust to court.
