hi all ... Gene and I went up to Longview to look for the Loggerhead
Shrike which Tom, Jeff, and Russ reported there ... easily found him
in the location at the Mint Farm as they described ... fortunately
the rain had stopped so got some nice pix ... we then headed to
Willow Grove to see if we could find the Red-shouldered Hawk ... no
luck on him ... anyways, here are some shots of the Shrike ...
