Hi,
For the benefit of winter listers who may have had these species elude them
so far, an adult White-crowned Sparrow, plus a male Redwing and a male common
Grackle visited our feeder this morning. A hairy woodpecker is also aroound.
Directions to Thickson's Woods
To get to Thickson's Woods, Exit from #401 to Thickson Rd. S. Continue south
about 1.5 kilometres to the Waterfront Trail, where you will see a large green
sign on your left that says "Thickson's Woods Nature Reserve". Park along the
east side of Thickson Road and walk east along the Waterfront Trail about 200
metres to where a pathway enters the woods on your right. Trails lead through
the woods with two extending to the roadway on the south side of the woods
along the shore of Lake Ontario.
The entrance to the meadow portion of the reserve is on the north side of
the Waterfront Trail opposite the entrance to the woods.
We live on the south side of the woods along the lake, the house with a yellow
fire hydrant and a large pink (snow-covered) boulder at the front The birds
most often frequent the cedar hedge and brush pile on the west border of our
property.
