Town Supervisor Phil Barrett has released a message to Clifton Park residents urging caution when encountering foxes and other wild animals.

The message states that animals will start coming out more as the weather warms up and prey becomes more readily available.

He warned that if a wild animal approaches a resident without showing any sign of fear, there's a chance it may be infected with a disease or virus and that police should be notified. Police should also be informed immediately if residents observe a fox or other wild animal that has missing fur, a bony tail, is staggering or stumbling or otherwise appears unhealthy.

If you are unsure as to the physical condition of a wild animal that you observe, do not hesitate to call the town’s Animal Control Office at 371-6756.

Don't be surprised if you see a lot of dead fish when the ice melts off your local pond.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation says increased fish kills known as "winterkills" are expected this spring because of the unusually harsh, snowy winter.

Winterkills are the result of oxygen depletion in a water body that has been covered by ice and snow for an extended period of time. The layers of snow and ice block oxygen from entering the water from the air, and prevent sunlight from reaching aquatic plants that would produce oxygen.

The DEC says winterkills are rare in larger water bodies over 20 acres in size, occurring more often in small ponds. The agency says fish populations can often rebound a few years after a winterkill.

DEC says anyone noting a fish kill that they believe cannot be attributed to winterkill should contact their local DEC regional office.
