What I Saw - Tuesday, April 23, 2013

This rotting possum has been lying near the Herbert "Cubby" Spiese Bridge for about two weeks.  Originally, it was lying in the middle of the highway after most likely being hit by a car.  A few days later, it had been moved to its present location.  As can be seen from the photo, the carcass is attracting flies and will soon start "growing" maggots.  Besides, it looks undignified lying there among the cigarette butts and other debris, although the dandelion seems somehow appropriate.  Do we have a critter control officer to take this away before it becomes more of a nuisance or a public health issue?
