A Varied Thrush had been coming to the feeder of Carole and Bill Chapman
since January 6. They live at 1341 Balfour Street in Fenwick. The house
can be reached by taking Highway 20 west of Highway 406. Pass through
Fonthill and go up the hill and pass the golf course on your right and
then down hill and Balfour is the first street at the bottom of the
hill. Turn left (south) on Balfour and it is the 6th house on left hand
side (just past the big red farmhouse). Drive in to the back of the
house. Ring the back door bell, and if they are home they will take you
in to see the bird. If they are not not home then continue along the
back of the house and open the deck gate. The bird flies into the lone
maple tree and then at some point goes to the ground below the
feeder.(Note there is a Golden retriever that barks in the house but do
not worry about this).
