March is here, and the Varied Thrush is still resident at Cold Creek Conservation Area in King Township. Hes still a little skittish, but does come our regularly to feed on the corn on the logs. Favoured spots are the hedgerow on either side of the driveway before the split, and under the five Spruce trees on the right. Have patience, and he should reward you with a great view.
(image link & directions: http://e-confidence.net/vathccca/ ) Cold Creek Conservation Area is located on the 11th Concession, between the 15th and 16th Sideroads. From the South, take HWY #27 North to King Road (Nobleton). Turn left on King Road and drive for 4 km to the 11th Concession (look for the sign for YMCA Cedar Glen Camp) and turn right (North). Cold Creek Conservation Area is about 3.5 km on the right, with a large sign out front. Park on the side of the road into Cold Creek. The first (and only) driveway on the right is to my house. Walk down the driveway, and try to keep back from where it splits. Happy Birding.
