Chateauguay, Île Saint-Bernard:
It was very humid this morning in the wooded area, on the lac St-Louis side of Île Saint-Bernard. There were also quite a few mosquitoes until you got to the cut-off for the grande digue, then they were not so noticible. Also a second outhouse has been installed on the way to the grande digue in the Érabliere à caryers. Between Érabliere à caryers and the grande digue the path is quite muddy because of all the rain.
A mink and a garter snake were on the path between the grande digue and the petite digue, where there were two deer.
