Subject: Re: [NatureNS] re porpoise? or seal? in Eel Lake
Whales have external parasites...a foray into fresh water would kill =
them. I don't know if seals are subject to external parasites as much as =
whales; none of the seals that have crossed my lab space have had =
obvious external parasites. Perhaps seals are lost, though perhaps those =
who venture into FW know they have a parasite problem and are going =
there to rid themselves of the infestation?

Here in the Wolfville area, there have been periodic records of =
harbour porpoises (as well as harbour and young harp seals even) heading =
inland at least along the tidal parts of the mouth of the Cornwallis =
River, as far as New Minas and perhaps further. I also recall an =
incidence of a harbour seal up the Kennetcook River as far as Stanley =
(photographed). Jim in Wolfville

Subject: [NatureNS] Strange sight in Eel Lake
To: All
From: John Sollows
Date: October 25/09
This afternoon, my wife and I took a short drive to catch the =
little remaining foliage, which is disappearing unseaonably rapidly =
down here in Yarmouth County. (Oh, those breezes!)
About 3 P.M. today, we crossed the old Eel Lake bridge, and =
noticed a flock of smallish gulls (ring bills?) and a smallish raft of =
cormorants congregating a little south of the bridge. In the midst of =
it all, something much too large to be prey surfaced briefly a number of =
times and moved to the southwest of us.
Porpoise? That is how the behaviour and appearance struck me. =
I wonder if one found its way into the lake throgh the shallow guzzle =
that connects to Lobster Bay, during some of the recent very high tides.
