Great Blue Heron! - Mississauga

[Bird Brain]

Hi everyone.  At 11:57am, a Great Blue Heron flew past my livingroom window (Lake Aquitaine) heading SW towards Oakville.  Yippee, FOY!    Always thrilling seeing the wide wings and long legs heading by.

Hi Jo-Anne, on Sunday around 10:30am, while out on a training run for the Mississauga Half Marathon, I saw one heading NNE at Winston Churchill and Tours Road.  FOY!! it sure didn't feel like spring then, -5C, with a NNW wind at 23km per hour.  It probably flew past your window.

Hi winz.  Hopefully the weather/temperature is much better by then (half marathon)!  

More GBH sightings:

April 1st, 11:25am, heading SW

April 5th, 7:40pm, heading NE

April 6th (this morning), 11:50am, came from the NE then landed at Lake Aquitaine!  

Other stuff:  walking trails from lake to plaza, a lot of black ice which is now snow covered!  People skidding.  Park employees are removing bicycles and shopping carts from the lake by the dock area - what a mess!  So far no bbq's or cars as in past years!   :shock:

It hasn't been cold enough to freeze the lake to have someone attempt to drive across  :lol: I remember skating on it years ago..

Lots of people used to skate and play hockey on the lake but not so much over the past few years.
