Hi, Everyone,
A Northern Shrike, first reported 15 Jan on electrical wires along the roadside and railroad tracks, on West Moira Road at Avonlough Road, Belleville, has re-appeared this past week. In Jan it was seen on 3 consecutive days. It's back in the same place, seen this past Thursday, Friday, and again this morning at 10:30. I park the car on the opposite side of the road and look at it from the car. It seems unconcerned by all the activity of trains and cars all around it. Super viewing, and definitely NSHR and not LOSH. Usually I have seen it late morning to mid-afternoon going to or from work. This morning it was pouncing from the wires to south-facing exposed grasses along the railway bank, but I couldn't see what it was after.
