Yesterday afternoon a Northern Shrike flew through my yard into the marsh behind my house and hovered for a while looking for a tasty sparrow (I have lots of tree sparrows at the moment). He didn't find anything and flew off to the east. Haven't seen it since. The Harris's Sparrow is still here, 4 days later. It has been daily and somewhat regular (every 30-60 minutes it seems).
