As of 11am Sunday, the Northern Shrike was still at the Fill in essentially
the same location described by Tom. A fellow birder, Helen, and I watched
and listened to him for a half hour or so. Several times he chased yellow
rumped warblers, and appeared to nearly catch one. He was also chased by a
robin for a short time.
