Rabbit on the island stirs a strange wildlife tale
Reports from San Francisco's McGee describe a cottontail rabbit appearing on an island in Stow Lake and fighting off a large goose, driving birds to the mainland. Guardian Albert Chacquette notes the rabbit's sudden bravery may be linked to juniper leaves fermented in its stomach. The event prompts speculation but few facts about how the rabbit reached the island and whether it truly fights or simply frightens. Meanwhile, farming exchanges expand across New Hampshire with county bureaus reporting strong activity, large meetups, and significant purchases of limestone, lime stone, and fertilizers.
