Hi Gail -- Keep an eye of friend shrike -- see if he sticks around! Loggerhead Shrike is a species which has essentially disappeared from Maryland in the last few years. The ones at Lilypons apear to be gone (no sightings for two years) and members of Washington Co. MOS told me last month that the ones at Antietam are also missing in action. They tend to hold winter territories not far from summer breeding areas -- perhaps there is a population in Baltimore Co. -- or perhaps he was just "passing through"... Cheers, Gail Mackiernan
