Summer Sightings

An unexpected youth was spotted on the lawn of the Endicott School Friday. This juvenile badger, estimated at six to eight inches long, appeared to be searching for its mother, according to Kathie Anderson who took the photo. The badger was spotted about 1:30 p.m., just half an hour before the local pool, which is the building on the left, opened for the first swim of the year. Locals were advised via Facebook to excercise caution, especially for children who walk to the pool from town.
