I have been looking at some other pics [the one I was using to ID it =
online as Shortnose wasn't very good] and from the newer pics I think it =
may be an Atlantic. I'll leave it ot better eyes than mine. Here is a =
pic. There is a twonie in the pic for scale.

Subject: [NatureNS] Shortnose Sturgeon washed up on Scots Bay Beach & =
Eagle's nest update
I know very little about fish but I found what I am pretty certain is =
a SHORTNOSE STURGEON on Scots Bay Beach this morning. It was still there =
when I went back for some pics this afternoon. I see it is listed as a =
species at risk. Not sure if finding it where/when I did is unusual but =
figured someone on this list would know/be interested in this find.
Also, the eagles nest...
for 3 days last week there were a pair of eagles who shared this =
nest. One was always on it and sometimes both. I checked it about 4 =
times a day. They fought of a pair of ravens for a good hour one day. =
Quite the show. One Eagle would hunker down on the nest while the other =
actively fought the ravens. The nest also seems to have been worked =
on....but, once again, no eagles for the past 3 days. Could this be a =
newish pair "practicing" starting a brood? The two BALD EAGLES were both =
mature. A younger eagle also seemed to come by/perch nearby on more than =
one occassion.
