If I never have to see the outcome of a crow hunt again, I will be extremely grateful. It was stomach turning. And bobcats???

[cayugabirds-l] Northern shrike-Hile School rd
At about 430 pm, a young N Shrike was perched in the clump of trees, N side of road, that is about 60 m east of 220 Hile School Rd. This is the address/mailbox at the east end of the unfinished road running through the wetland. The clump of trees sits just west ( toward Rt 38) of a two- track running N into the field. The shrike was first sitting atop the tallest tree, then popped down on the east face of the bushes near a single bushy pine. It has a distinct but not extensive black eye stripe, white undersides to retrices,a soft brownish cap, nice round head shape and bill accentuated with light areas around base. It was continually doing slow tail bobs. In a few views, slight tessellated patterning on breast was visible. It was deep dusk on a cloudy afternoon so detail was hard, but my son Toby managed to get a few pictures through my binocs. It Made several dive- forays into the weedy patch (golden rod, milkweed ) surrounding the clump. Hopefully it got something and will stay?? Full disclosure, we have been releasing some of the 15-20 Peromyscus live trapped in our basement right into the tree- brush clump. Hmmm. Anyway it was a very exciting find for Toby and I! I put it in eBird and will upload a couple of pics tomorrow—good only to convince one of the ID, nothing more.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Wonderful news for the new year
Yes Anne. I remember protesting in Auburn. It was definitely heart rending. Bobcats! And squirrels and coyotes and any other being that can suffer such human exploitation. Maybe we are making small steps in the evolution of our sense of being here in a shared life with other animals.
