After my first visit last week, I decided to go there again hoping to see a few that I haven't seen before. And sure enough, I got to see 4 lifers besides a host of others. It was supposed to be sunny; however, by the time I arrived after a brief stop-over at Prospect Marsh it was already overcast. I went straight to Shrike road - no Shrike to be seen. On my way back to Wylie road I saw a Loggerhead Shrike (may be a Northern; hard to tell as it was quite far from the road). May be the experts in this forum can confirm.

Looks fine for loggerhead shrike, also at this time all northern shrikes should be much farther north. Your wren, however, looks like a house wren, which is very common in Carden.
