Janice Melendez, Heather Jessop, Doug Lockrey and I saw the Varied Thrush about 11:30 today.
Be prepared to wait. We saw it well for a few minutes but it did not return over the next ½ hour. We were told by the homeowner (Elmer Ewart) that the bird usually waits until the Blue Jays come in before it arrives under the large evergreen on the right. Directions from Ken Burrells post: 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.
