There is a bumper crop of Snowshoe Hare this year in Guysborough County. On
a short dive on a side road near Sonora around 9am this morning, I counted
at least 8, mostly eating new growth in the roadside ditches. Also, a few
hopping around my cottage.  This is more than I have seen in the area in 40
years.

There also seems to be a large jump in the population of Ruffed Grouse.

Coincidentally, I have not heard Coyotes calling in the area for at least a
year.
