Animal and Bird Sightings -- Red Foxes and Cats!

  •   Red Foxes are common around the LWRA, but we have noticed increased activity over the past month, with numerous early morning sightings (especially on Thursday garbage mornings). One resident on N Waseosa has reported a confrontation with a neighbourhood domestic cat.  Small pets face risks when off-leash in the wild: please take care! Have you noticed more foxes than normal this fall? Please let us know!
  •       Please email sightings to secretary@lwra.net. Include confirmed sightings for 2015 only. Include only sightings (not animal tracks or birdsong) in the LWRA area (i.e., after you leave  the highway, not something you passed in Gravenhurst!)
