[CT Daily] 02/12/2008 PINE GROSBEAKS

[Roy Harvey]

Off topic perhaps, but I think this note from Dave Rosgen is worth
repeating:  If anyone sees any sick-looking Raccoons around White
Memorial Foundation's property (Litchfield Area) please report them
immediately to us at (860)-567-0857 and to the D.E.P. dispatch center
at (860)-424-3333.  We've had to deal with 2 such animals in as many
days, and 7 since September.
