Title: Northern Shrike(s)
Post by: Rob'in'To on November 04, 2011, 05:19:11 PM

Go figure, 7 years to find a Shrike (Northern or Loggerhead), and last winter 7 visits to Col. Sam Smith before I finally saw the one (two?) there and this week I have seen three already!

Two Northern Shrikes at Presquille Park, off beach area #2, along the drive.  One flew in and sat atop a tree, and a couple minutes later a second flew in and kicked off the first guy.

And November 3rd, saw a Northern Shrike land in a tree right in front of us at the Kortright Centre in Vaughan.

Yeah, I saw two Northern Shrikes (or the same one twice) out on the Leslie Spit this past Saturday.  Highlight of the fall for me!
