While working in Pacific Co. this week I stopped to fill out my paper work just off HWY 101 about 400 feet west on Bay Center Rd. Here there were 4 Lesser Yellowlegs. Just west of South Bend I noticed a Northern Shrike on the top of one of the bushes just north of the hwy. Seems like fewer shrikes this year on the whole. Is that what the rest of you been finding also?
