Darn, I missed the shrike, but found the Western Meadowlarks Helen had mentioned when I saw her earlier. I had been out for well over 2 hours, but left around 11:00, already over on the CUH side. C'est la vie, that's birding for you!

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.

It was calling, which got my attention. Appears to be a first year bird
by its breast feathers and light markings.
