Hello All,
=A0
My sister & her husband,=A0who have a place on the Musquodoboit Harbour nea=
r to where it joins the Musquodoboit River, have seen, on several occasions=
, an unusual occurrence.
A family of ducks will be swimming along (& the ducklings=A0have been=A0of =
varying ages, anywhere from quite young to=A0fledgling, size-wise), when al=
l of a sudden one would just disappear as if suddenly pulled under. It does=
 not re-appear. The rest of the duck family skitter quickly away.
They were wondering what would be the most likely type of animal that would=
 and could do this. Seal, otter, some=A0kind of fish, or bird?
=A0
Thank you for your thoughts.
