Hamilton, RBG Arboretum. This Monday Feb. 2 at 11:00AM, we again had a Brown Thrasher come to the feed that was dropped at the markers intersecting the MacDonnell and Capt'n Cootes Trails. Then a Northern Shrike appeared and dropped to the ground near the Thrasher. There was some dancing, puffing of breast feathers, splaying of tail feathers, no actual contact and both flew up. The Shrike kept on going north out of the forest, and the Thrasher sat above the feed and came down about 5 minutes later. Observers: Pam Watts and Frank Morley
