Please don't use the 4-letter alpha codes (thought we had agreed to that
for MD Osprey). The correct code for Northern Shrike is NSHR. It is just
best not to use these codes as it is confusing to those who don't know them
or know the rules that govern how they are created.
These codes were created for use on bird banding records so that the Bird
Banding Laboratory could edit the species via computer rather than through
a manual check. They are certainly useful for field notes and even ones
created by individuals for their own use are helpful for quick tallies in
the field. Thanks.

This morning I found the NORS that was reported by Jim and Marshall.
See the site map at:
http://cricketsong.tripod.com/NORSmap/index.html
The "X" s on the map are perches that were used by the shrike during the
time I was observing it.
I could not find any Short-eared owls in the area unfortunately.
