Thursday afternoon (10-19-17) I spotted a first year northern shrike hunting small birds at the west end of marsh. Photos and narrative can be seen on page 26:http://www.pnwphotos.com/forum/showthread.php?14796-Wildlife-of-Edmonds-WA-2017/page26

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request to ID the mystery sandpiper.
