SAN DIEGO -- Sunny spring days draw San Diegans outdoors, but they’re not the only ones basking in the sun. While you can see rattlesnakes at any point during the year, officials say sightings are most common in the region from April to September as temperatures rise.If you’re often out and about on the trails like local Lena Clement, you’re bound to spot one eventually. This San Diego beach is considered ‘the most beautiful’ in the US: study "About 10 days ago, walked by and heard this 'woosh' sound and I’m like what could that be," said Clement. "So I turned back and there was this big ol' snake.”The rattlesnake stopped Clement in her tracks."I stopped to take pictures and he did the 'woosh' thing one more time. I would not recommend anyone do this,” she continued.Experts don’t recommend it either. "If you hear some rattling, you’ve either gotten way too close or you’ve come up on a rattlesnake way too fast," said Sgt. Sierra Dockery with the San Diego Humane Society.

A newly designated ‘marine protected area’ located about 100 kilometres off the coast of Vancouver Island, will effectively prevent 133,000 square kilometres of some of the most diverse oceanic ecosystems from being exploited for profit. Jimmy Thomson wrote about the Tang.ɢwan-ḥačxʷiqak-Tsig̱is protected area for The Narwhal. He joins us on today’s Big Story to discuss the new rules and regulations governing the region, and the things within it that they aim to safeguard. “There are sea mounts, there are deep sea hydrothermal vents and, possibly, methane seeps,” he said, “this area encompasses the biggest concentration of those rare and valuable ecosystems under the ocean.” Far too often we report on parts of Canada’s natural beauty that are vanishing.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yields are rising in the U.S. bond market Friday following a highly anticipated report on the U.S. job market. The U.S. stock market is closed in observance of Good Friday, as are many markets across Europe. That leaves the U.S. bond market as one of the few open to react to the latest jobs update, which showed hiring lost a bit more momentum than expected last month but largely remained resilient. The data was so anticipated because it could offer a big clue for the Federal Reserve, which faces a tough decision on interest rates that will affect the entire economy. Should it keep raising rates in order to drive down inflation that’s still high? Or should it hold off given all the signs of slowing across the economy and stress in the banking system that’s already been caused by the past year’s swift surge in rates?The immediate reaction from the bond market Friday morning seemed to lean toward another hike. Not only did yields rise for Treasurys, so did bets for the ...Two men facing multiple charges following series of vehicle thefts in Mississauga
