Walk On The Wild(Life) Side

Visitors on Railroad Avenue in Cooperstown got a surprise visit from this skunk late Saturday afternoon, who, after wandering down Railroad Avenue, took a brief turn down Leatherstocking Street, then off to Main Street past Bruce Hall, where Dave LaDuke snapped this photo. Though skunks are normally hibernating this time of year, the weekend's mid-50s weather may have roused this little guy from his slumber.
Though skunks are normally hunkered down in their dens this time of year, the weekend’s mid-50s weather may have roused this little guy from his slumber.  He was spotted wandering down Railroad Avenue around 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 26 toward Bruce Hall Hardware.  Dave LaDuke snapped this photo.
