I would be inclined to blame all this headless seal business on the buss
drivers.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Dead Seal
This year the outer edge of the Ice flow was pushed out of the Gulf and off
Cape Breton earlier than usual and large volumes passed just off our shores
heading southwest.
I'd say that the early and large out flows of ice are responsible for this
years further south than usual deposits of seal carcus'. I'm sure most of us
along the north eastern shore don't mind sharing this early-mid spring
abundance.
In the next short while if you have a carcus on you beach don't let it get
above the tide line. You'll be sure to have you're own smelly, oil
producing, colony of decomposers that will last into mid summer (lots of
experence). Even though the water is cold it seem to excelerate the decomp
of the seals while keeping the smell in check (relatively speaking). An off
shore wind on a falling tide can make it go away.

Hi All.
Last week produced a prolonged heavy North and North East wind for a few
days.
SO I'll predict a flush spring for dead seals along our shores again this
year. Simmilar conditions last year and 3 years ago exposed the high
mortaliry during these events. The extreme motion of broken ice and add to
this the inexperience of the young seals (the usual victim) and you've got
the recipe for a mass cull.

Subject: [NatureNS] Dead Seal
Hi All,
My sister reports that yesterday, Sunday, as she and her husband were going
for a stroll, they saw a dead seal (her description, smallish, grey) right
beside the Conrad's Beach parking area. It was in the grassy area. She was
surprised to see it there, being so far from the ocean, though, she knew
there are alot of salt water pools in there too.
