Hi everyone.  I was walking around Lake Aquitaine this afternoon between 1:30-2:30pm.

East end of lake:  sighted a Crow flying with a Garter Snake dangling from the crow's feet.  Crow landed on a branch then let loose cawing up a storm!  Crow #2 sitting on a nearby lamp post started up with very loud sounds - similar to a Woodpecker hammering loudly on a tree.  

West end of lake:  sighted a White-breasted Nuthatch sitting at tip of pine tree, "yammering" non stop!  

Otherwise, lots of the "usual":  Canada Geese, Cardinals, Chickadees, Gulls, Mallards and Sparrows.  6 male Red-winged Blackbirds are still around!  

Lake Aquitaine:  SE corner of Glen Erin Dr./Aquitaine Ave, behind the Meadowvale Community Centre.
