Some highlights of our catches!

Friday was a busy day for us as we found some animals you might be interested in! 

The snake on the left was accidently found as we were patrolling an area for evidence of mammals.  A teacher in our group emails some professors in the area to see what it is.  We think it is a Maritime Garter snake.  It's pretty big!  We also caught a chipmunk in our traps.  They are very aggressive so we had to be careful with him!  That night we went to a pond that has a beaver lodge in it.  The beaver stayed pretty far away but we were fortunate enough to have this guy pictured on the left come by us.  Do you know what it is?  

Saturday we went to Halifax and enjoyed a day off where we ventured into town to relax.  The tugboat that is on the top left is used to ferry people across the bay in Halifax.  Look for a postcard that I'll be sending to Mallard Creek High School to say hi.  Hopefully you guys will get it before the week is up!  No new journals.  The next blog will be about my trip to Kejimkujik National Park.
