Hi Kevin! I see you are associated with the staff at the Wildfowl Trust. I have a question I have not been able to get answered ... maybe you can help? I am the Secretary of the MD/DC Records Committee, the group that reviews rare bird reports. A Northern Shrike was observed at the WTNA between 11/18/1995 - 12/22/1995. A story ran on this bird in the organization's newsletter in the spring of 1996. In the article, there was a photo labelled as "juvenile Northern Shrike" by Al Lease. I am trying to find out if the photo was of the bird in question, or was it a file photo. I haven't been able to locate the photographer, Al Lease. Maybe the files might indicate (like on the back of the photo) when and where the photo was taken? I have a copy of the newsletter, but don't know if I should circulate it with the rest of the documentation or not. Any help you could provide on this would be helpful, and appreciated. I'm leaving at noon on Sunday for a week of travel, so I'll be out of touch until next weekend. Thanks!
