Roadkill tally

While working in the beautiful remote areas of Nova Scotia I can appreciate nature everyday. Unfortunately, with every person who travels through these areas, they come by car. Because we have taken the liberty to pave roads through these otherwise wooded areas, our cars inevitably come in contact with nature every day. I have never seen as many dead animals on the side of the road until I started driving through the suburban rural area of Porters Lake. It is not suprising that with the drastic increase in the real estate market the wildlife haven't yet migrated away from human presence.

Today:

1 porcupine
2 squirrels (my co-worker hit one without so much as a grimace)
1 yellow finch
crow wings
1 crow
1 snake

Wildlife sightings, as a more pleasant afterthought:

2 eagles
1 osprey nest
the sound of a bullfrog
too many crows, but still appreciated
yellow finches
