Happy New Year! The Varied Thrush is continuing to show at the Bark Lake Leadership and Conference Centre near Irondale. It was present from about 10:30-11:00, when I left. There are also Red Crossbills, Purple Finches, and Pine Siskins roaming around the area. The Bark Lake Rd. is situated off Hwy 503 (between Irondale and Gooderham). Drive the road N about 5 km until you see the admin office on your right. The bird is coming to the feeders in front of the building. Cheers Ed Poropat
