Hi Sharon, et al.

Just to remind everyone ... the status of shrikes has "flipped" from 
what it was a number of years ago. The MD/DCRC took Northern Shrike 
off of the MD Review List since they had become so regular; however, 
we later added Loggerhead Shrike to the MD Review List because they 
had become so infrequent in MD and due to their declining overall status.

So, reports and photos of Loggerhead Shrikes would be welcome by the MD/DCRC.

Thanks!

Phil
