Index of Subjects --001a11c1fe1e65bb8305034864cb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 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.
