Hi Birders,
The Varied Thrush is regularly coming to the feeders of Elmer and Bev Ewert,
just outside of Waterloo. The bird comes every 15-20 minutes, but is fairly
skittish when people are outside. The Ewert's live at 3218 Weimar Line, just
south of Heidelberg. The Ewert's recommend that people either drive into their
driveway and stay in their car (this is probably the best idea) or to park and
use the side of the house as a blind. Remember to use proper birding ethics and
that we are guests.
Directions: exit the 401 at Hwy 8 north, take Hwy 85 north, towards Waterloo
about 12km. Exit Northfield Road, and go west. Following Northfield, turn right
(north) onto Weber street. Take Weber st. about a km and turn left onto
Benjamin Road. Take Benjamin all the way to Kressler Road (~5km). At Kressler,
turn left and take this to the first road (about 2km), which is Weimar Line.
Turn right onto Weimar and the house is the 3rd on the left #3218.
Good Birding,
Ken Burrell
Heidelberg/Waterloo, Ontario
