Today on a long bicycle ride on the N.Mountain north of Woodville 
(Annapolis Valley), I encountered a person who described a mouse he had 
seen in the woods along Hiltz Rd. I could not identify it even though he 
gave a good description. Upon consulting a field guide, his description 
was exactly the Woodland Jumping Mouse.

  They are nocturnal so strange that he had seen but he was involve in a 
construction project making a parking area for access to a new set of 
trails being built on 200 acres for the NS Off Road Riding Association 
(NSORRA). He may have diturbed its nest.

   Is the Woodland Jumping Mouse seen very often?  From its description, 
it would be a mammal that I would like to see. (golden fur, very long 
tail, long rear legs, and can jump 4 m)

Another interesting sight was two cormorants swimming in the small pond 
near the intersection of Burgess Mtn.Rd and Hiltz Rd.
