        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

              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.
