Hi folks,

I saw the shrike today.  It got chased off by a
crow after only about 45 viewing seconds - just
enough time to stop the car, reach in back for
the camera, point, and curse loudly.  I believe
it was a Loggerhead, as Wilbur says.

I found the several hundred Horned Larks, along
with only 2 Pipits south of the corner of Cap
Stine Road and South something-or-other road. 
Didn't see any Snow Buntings or Longspurs.  Are
they all mixed together?  Or did the weather
change blow away my lifebird?  

I was surprised at the number of GB Herons at
Lily Pons - at least 10, and I only scouted about
15 of the ponds.

Good birding,
Charlie
