Title: Northern Shrike
Post by: Brian Bailey on November 21, 2010, 08:46:57 AM

A Northern Shrike was actively feeding at Sam Smith Park yesterday.  He never stayed on a perch for more than a couple of minutes.  This heavily cropped photo is the best view I got:

I agree.  Awesome you got to watch him and capture a photo too (heavily cropped or not).

Great sighting and great photo (even though cropped) some of the best shots are heavily cropped!

I myself, of course am a cropoholic! LOL

Love the perch, shrike and cropping go hand and hand, I find them quite skiddish
