Thank you Wendy,
Hmmm, now that's a thought but=A0I thought snapping turtles were found only=
 in fresh water.=A0Admittedly, however, it is near the mouth of the Musquod=
oboit River, & so=A0it may not be as salty as further out into the harbour.=
 The depth of water in that area of the harbour, and it is the shallowest p=
art,=A0is no more than 7 feet deep=A0at low tide, so my sister tells me. An=
yway, I'll pass that along. Thanks!

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?

Thank you for your thoughts.
