Something a little different...

Photos by BarrytheBirder

Today is a bit of a departure for me as I am showing something that I would normally put in my 'BarrytheBirder blogsite.    It is Varied Thrush, an attractive bird from the western coast of Canada and the U.S.A. and which sometimes strays as far east as Ontario and the maritime provinces.   The one pictured above and below showed up a couple years ago on the 11th Concession of King at Cold Creek Conservation Area and was viewed by many birders and photographers.

Where does Tannery Creek start in Aurora?

Photo by Barry Wallace

Pictured above is Tannery Creek as it  runs north from Tyler Street in Aurora.  The view looks north from the spot where Collis Leather was founded in mid-1800s.   The creek was named for the leather-making factory built in this spot.   the creek splits here, with tributaries coming down from the Oak Ridges Moraine on both sides of Yonge Street.   The tributaries run north behind the Aurora Cemetery on the east side of Yonge Street, and north behind the new Delmanor Retirement facility on the the west side of Yonge Street.   The health of Tannery Creek suffered for a century before Collis Leather came to end.   The affected surrounding areas appears to have a brighter future in the 21st century.
