cleherald.ca/novascotia/127581-endange --20cf307f34e415be9504c7938322 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Update, it beached again at low tide this afternoon and by the time people found it/got there the tide came in again...and it's off again. I hope they find it again next low tide as there's no food for it in the bay of fundy.I have a feeling this isn't going to end well :( Helene On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 4:36 PM, Helene Van Doninck < helene.birdvet@gmail.com> wrote: > Chronicle Herald Story today > > > http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/127581-endangered-reptile-spotted-in-shubenacadie-river > > > > On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 3:13 PM, Helene Van Doninck < > helene.birdvet@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Yep, someone called here with the sighting and we told them to contact >> the Sea Turtle people, apparently they are either there or on the way. >> >> Helene >> >> >> On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 3:01 PM, AngelaJoudrey <aljoudrey@eastlink.ca>wrote: >> >>> Hi All, >>> >>> Thanks Helene for the update. >>> >>> I see on the East Hants fb page that there was a sighting again around 2 >>> pm and folks were heading out. >>> >>> Fingers crossed. >>> >>> |Angela in Windsor >>> >>> On 08/18/12, *Helene Van Doninck * <helene.birdvet@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Angela, someone posted that DFO said the tide took him out to >>> sea..which I'm not sure I believe.
