Hi Birders, My apologies for not posting sooner, but I just received permission to post now. There has been a Varied Thrush coming sporadically to a backyard feeder along Dunnington Court, in the Stanley Park area of Kitchener. The bird was originally found on the 16th and has been seen several times since. While sightings have been few, I think the bird is actually quite regular in the area, but it just frequents several feeders in the vicinity.
I think the best area to look for the bird is in the greenspace, known as the 'Idlewood Greenway', behind many of the houses which front Dunnington Court and Drumoak Place. There are several feeders that are potential spots where the bird could be. The eBird link, below, is centred exactly where I observed the bird on Monday. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S21552393 Directions: taking Hwy. 85 north from Hwy. 401, exit at and go east on Ottawa Street. Take this to Old Chicopee and turn right. Take this Edenbridge and turn left. There are several access points, I'd suggest either accessing the greenspace from Edenbridge, the end of Darlington, or along Oldfield Drive. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck!
