At 3:15 yesterday (Saturday January 20th 2007) at Lake Drive just west of Woodbine Ave North (north of Keswick) Paul and Lorena Campbell spotted 4 Bald Eagles flying over the open water and sitting on the ice between the mainland and Snake Island. There were 2 immature and 2 mature birds; they were active, regularly putting up the gulls and waterfowl. Ron Fleming, Newmarket Keswick and the southeastern shore of Lake Simcoe are accessible by taking Hwy. 404 north from Toronto then, when it ends, jogging east to Woodbine Avenue and taking it north to the lake. Lake Drive runs east and west along the shoreline.
