I'm not an expert on such things. I looked at the size of the bill, size of
the bird and shape of the forehead. Later on I was reading Birder's Guide to
Washington by Diann MacRae and the Loggerhead Shrike was mentioned to be in
the area. So, I thought that confirmed what I saw but I could very
definitely be wrong! ;)
