Hi all,
This morning after I dropped off Jill at the Hastings YMCA, I saw a bird that
looked like a Northern Mockingbird. It was perched on a tree near a housing
development on Pleasant, just diagonal to the Y. when I stopped the car, it
flew into a tree on 2nd St. So, I followed it and got out of the car and get a
really good look with my binocs (which I am now carrying in the car wherever I
go). It was a Northern Shrike. I watched it for a few minutes, until it flew
east, toward the Mississippi.
I've now seen both shrikes this year; this is only the second time that has
happened (I've only seen two Northern Shrikes).
Good birding,
Richard
