Finally. I was there all day at the Shrike spot and I did see it around 10 am for about 10 seconds or so. A Mockingbird harassed it and it dropped down out of site. At the end of the day, one of the very nice local people pointed it out to me. It was about 100 yards down Kibler Road next to the hedge row that goes off of the field toward the west.
I didn't have good light because it was mostly cloudy and it was getting late. A vehicle came by and it left after a few snap shots but I got it, and I am so happy.
