Olympic long jump? (Lincoln Through the Lens)

This could be the “turtle hurdle” event at the Summer Olympics in Rio. Or maybe… because the turtle can see his shadow, we’ll have six more weeks of summer. (Photo by Harold McAleer)

Four-legged wildlife caught on cameras
Lincolnites have been quick on the draw with their smartphone cameras in recent days, exchanging photos and quips on the LincolnTalk email list about a coyote and a somewhat larger quadruped.
Several residents saw an Eastern coyote (which is a hybrid wolf/coyote with perhaps a bit of domestic dog—sometimes called a coywolf) on August 1 in the area of Tower Road, Millstone Lane and Round Hill Road. While some were concerned about the safety of small children or pets, others hoped the creature would visit their neighborhood to make a dent in the population of rodents, groundhogs, deer and even beavers who are allegedly chewing down some of the newly planted along Route 2.
Meanwhile, Steve Durante photographed another beige quadruped spotted on Brooks Road and posted the photo on LincolnTalk. Among the comments this time:
- “The coyote looks … different.”
- “If that wanders into your property, finders keepers? ‘Honey, I will need a bigger meat smoker.'”
- “It’s an Eastern Cowyote.”
Closer inspection revealed the animal to be an ordinary cow. “He got out onto the street and I had to walk him back,” Durante said.

Hay labyrinth (Lincoln Through the Lens)

Just for fun, Sarah Canon Holden and her five-year-old grandson cut her field at the corner of Weston and Silver Hill Roads in concentric circles, leaving uncut rows in between. Sometime in the next few days, she’ll finish the cutting, but in the meanwhile residents are welcome to walk on the path at the side of the field.
