Hi all, Whilst driving by Barrett Lake on the Beaverbank Road today, there was a deer carcass in the middle of the lake being picked at by 3 Ravens. Hovering a few hundred metres away was a large Reddish Coyote which was reluctant to go near it with myself and another vehicle parked watching it. It eventually left, I assume it would return after things quieted down or after dark whichever came first. Couldn't stick around due to an appointment, but will try to swing by tomorrow to see if there is any activity around the carcass. It looked like a whole animal, not just the pelt etc.. that a hunter would be getting rid of. The red colour and large size made me wonder about the Red Wolf species in Algonquin Park and if this was an off shoot of it or something. Pretty cool to see in any event. Lots of birds around the feeders today, mainly Redpolls, Goldfinches and Pine Siskins. Plus Red and White Breasted Nuthatches, B.C. Chickadees, Downy, Hairy Woodpeckers, 17 Mourning Doves, though it looks like the resident ducks seem to have flown the coop with the lake being mostly frozen over now. Cheers, Gary Murray Tucker Lake, Beaverbank NS
