nice list considering the weather these last two days.

Shrikes seems to be everywhere this year and .................earlier than normal??

Nice! Where was the shrike?

[American Redstart]

The shrike was on a tree by the river in between Etienne Brule park and Lambton Woods.Closer to Lambton Woods though.

mid November is the normal arrival time for Northern Shrike's. You can expect a few early ones in late October.
