Playing Possum

This adorable baby possum was spotted by Coniston Road resident Chris Power and family recently. (Not to worry -- Chris says they determined it was old enough to be apart from its mother!)In addition, Chris has seen and heard a wide variety of birds, including orioles, yellow finches, red-wing blackbirds, cardinals, mockingbirds, cedar waxwings, and even baby screech owls. Like many area residents, he recently caught a glimpse of a deer munching on Roslindale Wetlands plant life.
