Hi.
This was posted recently on a Quebec birding site. Thought I would share
given how close Breckenridge in the Pontiac, Quebec is to the Ontario border
especially the Ottawa area. Thanks.

"We have been asked to pass around the following information concerning the
Shrikes being released from our sanctuary at Breckenridge ..."
"Bonjour Every one,
Here is a file showing the colour combinaison of the tags install on the
legs of each Loggerhead Shrike release at The Natural Preserve of
Breckenridge, Québec on this July 31, 2009. We have release seven young
Loggerhead Shrike. The colour Orange is marking the Québec birds for 2009.
Left Leg--------------------------------Right Leg
Orange /Silver coloured metal (SI)------Dark Blue/Grey
Orange/SI-------------------------------Dark Blue/Light Blue
Orange/SI-------------------------------Dark Blue/Light Green
Orange/SI-------------------------------Dark Blue/White
Orange/SI-------------------------------Dark Blue/Yellow
Orange/SI-------------------------------Grey/Dark Blue
Orange/SI-------------------------------Grey /Grey
All the left legs have an orange band over top of the silver coloured metal
U.S. Fish & Wild. Service band.
Please pass the words around, and if somebody on the Ontario side or any
place else see something looking like a Loggerhead Shrike wearing colour
band (specially orange colour), please ask them to contact me.
Thank you ... Open to any questions."

You can type in Pontiac in google maps to find general location. In local
sightings, a number of shorebirds are starting to show up. Another 2 Great
Egrets were seen today in the Ottawa area. I'll check photos later to see if
any bands. This one photographed in early August.
