A drive along 180th St. in Dakota County turned up a pair of Lark Sparrows, Gray Partridge (a single bird in the road) and ³the² Loggerhead Shrike. As I watched the latter fly from its perch on a power line, over cropland, to land on an irrigation rig, I am left to wonder : If this represents suitable habitat for Shrikes, why are there so few?
