Hi Steve, et al.

The MD/DCRC database (online on our web page) stopped tracking 
Northern Shrikes when we took it off the review list in 2001, 
however, late dates for this species prior to this time, in addition 
to the two you located, are (in reverse chronological order) ...

03/31/1860      DC                      (arrived on 12/01/1859)
03/23/1996      MD/Anne Arundel Co      (arrived on 01/14/1996)
03/10/1951      MD/Worcester Co (arrived on 03/05/1951)
03/08/1991      MD/Frederick Co (arrived on 01/20/1991)
03/07/1951      MD/Washington Co        (one day wonder)
03/01/2001      MD/St. Mary's Co        (arrived 01/29/2001

Those (above) were birds that stayed into March.

There are twelve MD/DCRC database entries for reports or records of 
birds that were seen in February.

Hope this helps ...

Phil
