Carden Birds

[Dinusaur]

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.

1&2. Black-billed Cuckoo



3: Upland Sandpiper


4. Virginia Rail (this one is from Prospect Marsh)


5. Loggerhead Shrike?


6. Sedge Wren?


7. A Northern Flicker

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.
