Hi folks, While birding Aitkin County on Saturday and again today, I observed Northern Shrikes. The observation on Saturday took place about 7 miles northeast of Aitkin, and this bird was actively hunting sparrows in a brushland management area. Today I observed a Northern Shrike and a Merlin interacting in a snag in a cow pasture-not sure who was going after whom, but the Merlin did eventually move to a different tree. Interesting! This took place a couple of miles southeast of Aitkin.
