Arriving back from the cottage last Saturday, 4 male Wild Turkeys greeted me in the side yard at Taylor Woods. They have brought others each day. A new species has been seen each day at our feeding station and today we were pleasantly surprised to see 2 female Purple Finches.
Directions to Taylor Woods Taylor Woods is a private property located at 1016 Wilson Ave., Kitchener close to Homer Watson Park. This property is accessed by a private drive between the Colt plant and the Bell depot yard. It overlooks the Grand River. For out-of-town folk, please take 401 to the Homer Watson exit (one exit west of # 8 exit). Follow Homer Watson into Kitchener and take about the 5th light at Manitou and turn right onto Manitou. Turn right onto Wabanaki at the next set of lights. At the top of a small hill, turn right onto Wilson Ave. Proceed about 100 metres along Wilson. Note the white chain link fence on your left (east) that encloses the Bell telephone depot. At the end of the fence, turn left onto the private drive that appears to lead to the Colt plant. Follow the drive on the south side of the depot until you see mailboxes and the drive that leads to the Taylor residence which is the bird feeding station known as Taylor Woods. Veer to right just past the sign. The feeders are around the white Taylor house with the blue steel shake roof. Birders are welcome. Posted by Neil E.
