Robin and I looked for the Danby Northern Shrike between 1:30 and 2 PM today
without success. Possibly the stiff breeze and/or the time of day had caused

The Northern Shrike posted by Eric Banford is still around. I stopped at
the intersection of E. Miller Rd and Nelson Rd just before 10 this morning
to get some looks. As Eric posted, the bird is frequenting the tops of the
round hay bales. I watched as it caught what appeared to be a caterpillar
