The Varied Thrush was present this morning at 8:00 am. It arrived shortly after I did. I walked out to the crab apple trees and then heard it from behind me. I turned around to see it fly and land in a large conifer across the street. It paused for a moment and flew across almost straight at me into the crab apple trees. It posed very nicely for several photos before it snatched an apple and dove into the under brush!
Directions: From 401 go north on Brock (46) right on Stone Rd. Left on Victoria, right on Conservation Rd. Dam road is on right - crab apples about 20 meters south of Conservation Rd along the road over the dam. Good Birding!
