Listened to a Northern Shrike "sing" this morning.
Two thoughts:
* This is the first time I've heard them sing in the fall - the few times in
the past have been late winter, early spring.
* Just a few seconds of listening convinced me why they don't sing more
often. Tortuous! Mixture of bad brakes and bad rap.
Good birding to all from Solitaire-ville (wondering if there is any chance
they bred at Ann Lake this year, since two were present last March),
