|
The Wood Turtle, Clemmys insculpta, population at River Denys, Inverness County, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, was unknown to science until the summer of 1999. Andreas Gräf photographed a hatchling at McLennan Brook on 17 September 1999, and three adult males between 14 and 19 September 2000. John Gilhen photographed two adult females at South Side River Denys on 18 June 2001. He also located a predator excavated nest and empty egg shells on a stony-gravel bank at the outflow of McLennan Brook and found one sub-adult male at the edge of a hay field on 19 August 2001. These observations, as well as one nesting site and five basking sites identified by Stephen M. Sober along the main branch of River Denys, confirm a natural breeding population of Wood Turtles exists in the River Denys Watershed.
