w:st=3D"on"&g Dave, Ron, Billy, others: I thought by now that you'd be eager to know the final resolution (we hope) to Chocolate Lake's Great Ghost Rodent Mystery -- see the last communication below from Rob, whose mother lost three 5-inch willow trunks in a single munching, leaving no doubt what must have been the culprit. Here in the metropolitan concrete jungle we seldom manage to reach this level of excitment over rodents, so I felt I wanted to share this with you. According to correspondent Bill, next clip, it has even happened before. Thankyou to those who helped identify the owner of the tooth marks -- you all guessed right. Steve in Halifax *********************************** >> Steve, >> It was several years ago now that Mike Larade, (a wildlife expert of >> my acquaintance) captured a beaver out of Chocolate Lake and relocated >> him (her). At that time, there were trees cut at the end of Crescent >> Ave, and the tenants called the city. The city called Mike who removed >> the beaver, and sent a bill. The Landlord ended up paying the bill. >> When I last contacted Mike, his e-mail was <michaellarade@eastlink.ca> >> Phone 868 1890. He removes beavers and other nuisances professionally. >> I expect he is still at the same address. >> Bill Marchant >> ----- End forwarded message ----- > Hi Steve: I was just talking this Sunday afternoon [5 Oct]to my mom's next door > neighbours - Bob and Diane who live next to the public wharf and across from > the pump station. They saw the beaver under their wharf on Thursday, saw > the damage done to my mother's willow and called the department of Parks and > forests (I believe). They came on Friday and had the beaver captured within > a few hours. Apparently they take captured beavers to the Shubenacadie > wildlife preserve. So it appears at least for now that the beaver is gone. > Let's hope there aren't more. Thank you for all the investigative work you > have done on this issue. Rob >
