Certainly lots in the rocks around our cove but lots of food near by. They =
=20
are very adept at catching crabs. The babies are now out, very cute peeking=
=20
from  behind the rocks.

All:

On Sunday, my visiting far-flung family went to Peggy's  Cove. Although =20
I and others here may be somewhat blas=E9, there is no  doubt that =20
scrambling over the granite is greatly enjoyed by  come-from-aways.

A bonus this time was a large, dark mink darting over  the rocks near =20
the high tide mark in full view of scores of  visitors. An American =20
cousin called out its id, and there was lots  of ooh-ing and ah-ing. I =20
asked a number of people if they had had  ever seen one before, and =20
most said no. It then disappeared into a  large crevice. I suppose a =20
mink could make a living in the general  area, but not likely on the =20
granite outcrop as such.

Cheers,  Ian
