Our first stop after getting out of the trolly was the Colborne Lodge. There was a seriously large construction effort onsite and the cottage was not open. We talked with the gardener a bit and thanked her for such fine work. The closed cottage left us more time for garden watching and walking about. It is called High Park because it is situated on the high land between a few lakes and streams. We went up and down and then around the biggest lake. We saw a few new birds and passed the 600 bird milestone!
The answer is simple, 117
