Massasaugua Rattlesnakes In the middle of Dyers Bay Road, just few kilometers off Highway 6; not dead, but didn't make any noise at all when we walked close to it. At Singing Sands trail, at the same time, two rattlesnakes one on each side, rattled quite a while. Sound was like the high voltage electric lines' noise, but a bit louder than that. One left, the other rattled a bit longer and left slowly too. Stay in the middle of the trails, you are very unlikely to be biten by a Massasauga Rattlesnake. If you are bitten, it is possible to be not venomous. If the bite is venomous, you still have enough time to seek medical help. If you are bitten by a Massasauga Rattlesnake, calm down and see a doctor immediately. Other snakes Hogged-nose Snake: this is a funny guy. In the wild, if you meet one, it will raise its head and flatten it to scare you. If you are not scared away, it will attack you with its hogged nose like a tickle. If the attack doesn't work, it will lay down and turn up side down to play dead. If you turn it over, it will turn up side down again to persuade you that it is a "dead" snake. We did not meet one in the wild during the tour. Red Squirrel My Neighbour: a red squirrel. It's not as red as the ones in story books or cartoons. It has a sort of redish tail and about half the size of the squirrels we see in Toronto. It came to my site whenever I started cooking if I was the only one around. I shooed it away and it would come back when I turned my back to it. When we were all on site, it wouldn't come back after being shooed away.
