Roughly 30 minutes ago I viewed a female Varied Thrush fly in with a small
flock of 5 to 10 American Robins at Dickson Wilderness Area just outside of Ayr
and Glen Morris area.
From the parking lot you want to follow the path, it will come to a split
trail. You want to follow the path to the right it will bring you to the edge
of a marsh. Keep following the path and you will come to a boardwalk. The bird
was seen from the boardwalk on some tall dead trees on the westerly side of the
boardwalk.
Since my initial sighting the bird has flown off in a North Westerly direct.
There is an orchard area off in that direction full of Apple Trees. The trails
will lead to that area just takes a bit of walking.
Good luck and good Birding,

You want to Exit on Cedar Creek Rd. and head east towards Cambridge. From there
follow that road until you hit the stop light. Your want turn right at the stop
light on to Dumfies Rd. Follow Dumfies Rd. for a few km until you hit the
T-intersection that connects to Wrigley Rd. From there you want to take a left

sign take a right. follow the rd south and on the first rd on the right you
want to turn on it. This rd is Brant-Waterloo Rd. The trail is like a half km
down that road on your right.
