News from the Brook

I've decided to continue a tradition that started on my old website and bring you the latest big news from my hometown of West Brookfield, Massachusetts. This week's top story:

WEST BROOKFIELD— An adult female great horned owl that lost its right wing when it was struck by a car early yesterday on Route 67 had to be euthanized, according to Police Sgt. Douglas J. Blood, North Brookfield animal control officer, who assisted in the raptor’s recovery.

Sgt. William Lynch said he was operating stationary radar in the school zone on North Main Street early yesterday when a motorist stopped to inform him that an owl had been struck near Coy Brook Farm on North Main Street and that it was still alive, but seriously injured.
