The Northern Shrike was on Creamery Road about 100 yards south of the ridge crest around 3:45 PM, sitting on one fence pole and another between stoops to the grass. Found it very easily. Beautiful specimen. Performed beautifully, too, coming as close as 50 yards, and turning this way and

Yesterday afternoon on Van Dyne-Spoor Road I watched as a Balded Eagle flushed up a flock of four-to-five dozen ducks, almost all Mallards, but including a single Black-bellied Whistling-duck. Since I don’t do eBird, but still want to be helpful, thought I’d mention it as something to be looked
