   The highlight of today's canoe trip down Little River, a river-left =
tributary of Musquodoboit River, were two wood turtles, both basking on =
shore at separate locations. Their carapaces were heavily stained with =
silt from their underwater hibernation, and it took us a little while to =
identify them. The more sluggish one that we managed to capture (and =
quickly released) had a large crack in its carapace above its left rear =
leg and two large ectoparasites(?), possibly leaches. =20
