Title: Shrike?
Post by: tleeder on November 01, 2008, 06:44:00 PM

Came across a shrike today in luther marsh - however not sure which type...  Im guessing it is probably a northern since the loggerhead is endangered in ontario...  Any suggestions?

I know a few places in Ontario to see Loggerhead Shrikes, but Luther Marsh is not near any of them.  Given the time of year, your bird was certainly a Northern Shrike.

Thanks GStuart...  I had never seen a shrike in the marsh before - so it really caught my attention...
