Both Northern Pike and Muskies will take small birds but there are none
around here. I once caught a large Brown trout in BC that disgorged a very
small duckling and another with a small mouse in its stomach. There are sea
run trout in the mouth of the Musquodoboit this time of the year but I
doubt they are big enough to take a duckling. My guess would be an otter. They
certainly come down the river into our cove in the spring.

Hello All,
My sister & her husband, who have a place on the Musquodoboit Harbour near
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 have been of
varying ages, anywhere from quite young to fledgling, size-wise), when all 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 kind of fish, or bird?
Thank you for your thoughts.
