Over the past year or so, I have found three or four dead star-nosed moles
on a trial where I walk frequently in the fall in Three Fathom Harbour,
HRM. They always appear unharmed from what I can see. Any idea what is
killing these neat creatures and leaving them on the trails? There are
frequently hawks around, lots of dogs, and I have seen a cat as well.
