The Northern Shrike was making the rounds of the field north of the barn where Jeff saw it and Jay relocated it, between 10:30 and about 12:30 when it flew south into the middle of the field complex and I lost it. It foraged successfully numerous times, capturing what looked to be large caterpillars on the ground.
Great bird. Thanks to Jeff and Jay for the heads-up.
