Geocache Description:

This is a popular chickadee feeding station along the Starkey Loop Trail. Be sure and bring bird seed with you! You'll have them eating out of your hand. Great fun for the kids.

Cache is a camo taped film cannister.

The Starkey Hill trail property is currently owned and maintained by the Grand River Conservation Authority. It was originally purchased by the Starkey family in 1849. The highest point in Puslinch township lies along the trail, and provides a great view of downtown Guelph. In 1911, the Geodetic Survey of Canada created a triangulation station at this high point. The wooden tower stood 100’ tall with a 36’ x 36’ base. There were hundreds of these towers constructed for a triangulation survey project. The information gathered formed the basis for topographic mapping used today. The tower was taken down in 1920 and used to build an implement shed on the Starkey farm, so there are no remnants to be found. The 4km loop runs through a mix of hardwood forest and pine plantation and is a very popular local hiking trail. The chickadees are very abundant and it’s a good idea to bring bird seed along with you – they’ll eat right from your hand.
