Index of Subjects Observations like this, Nancy, point to one reason why this network is important. You never know what sort of questions are going to get raised, or the extent to which existing uncertainty can be narrowed! -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of nancy dowd Sent: October 9, 2017 8:30 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Bobcat populations Now that you mention it, the place where the Bobcat crossed is a spot where there are almost always Mourning Doves picking in the gravel on the road in front of some mailboxes. Perhaps the increasing presence of MODOs in almost every habitat reflects the Bobcats' wider distribution?

It was stalking morning doves under feeders at a house when we disturbed it. We didn’t see it until it spooked and ran. Before that we saw a lot of sign in the woods within 500 metres of that location. (Hairy scat that I told the kids I was sure was cat not coyote although we saw that as well.) All of this was at about 5:00PM. > > Thank you, > Donald MacLaughlin > >> On Oct 8, 2017, at 6:26 PM, bdigout <bdigout@seaside.ns.ca> wrote: >> >> On 08 Oct 2017 16:26, nancy dowd wrote: >> We were out for a drive in Lakeview, Kings Co. today.
