Paul Novak asked me to pass this message along regarding the loggerhead shrike report --- Jesse Jaycox
Hello, I was just forwarded the message regarding Dave Tetlow's loggerhead shrike sighting on North Hamlin Road. This location is not far from 1980's breeding records which is interesting. In case folks out there are not aware of it, Ontario has been banding shrikes and also doing a captive breeding and release effort for over 10 years now. If this bird is seen again, it would be well worth looking to see if there are any color bands on the bird and noting color and which leg if bands are observed. Also of course, to determine if there may be a second bird present. If it is possible to keep me posted I'd really appreciate it as well as I still have some level of involvement with this species for NYSDEC. You may have seen my article on loggerhead shrikes in the New York State Conservationist magazine (December 2010 issue). Thanks! I hope people see it again and enjoy the sight if you do. They are such a neat bird.
