For those of you looking for wild Turkeys for either your winter or year
list, a really good place to find them is off Centerville Road, directions
to follow.

This morning I found five or six Toms and at least two hens frequenting a
feeder clearly set out to attract Turkeys at 6807 Finnerty Sideroad in
Caledon. The feeder is within 75 feet of the road and in clear view. The
birds were actively feeding, taking turns going to the feeder and then when
finished, walked across the road and into the bushy area immediately north
of the road.  I found them at approximately 11:30 am this morning but I
would suggest that earlier would be much better and likely to produce more
birds. I would say that this location represents an almost guarantee in
finding some.

Also, on Mississauga Road just north of Hwy. 24 (now called Charleston
Sideroad for reasons that totally escape me), both on thr road and in the
fields adjacent to Mississauga Road, I had a mixed flock of some 75 Snow
Buntings, 6 or so Horned Larks, and a possible three Lapland Longspurs. This
flock was very flighty and unlike the Turkeys mentioned above, is anything
but guaranteed.

To get to this location proceed north on Airport Road past the community of
Caledon East a kilometer or two. Turn east or right on Finnerty Sideroad and
go east, past Innis Lake Road to 6807 Finnerty Sideroad. The name on a sign
there reads "Graywood Farms". The feeder is 25 feet or so east of the
driveway and some 75 feet to your right or south of the road.

Good luck.
