Hi Everyone,

Jim Green just called to report a LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE in Washington Co. He was checking the ponds that Hans Holbrook put on the map for Washington Co. shorebirds a couple years ago and came across the shrike.

Here are the details:

Area is part of the extended Center at Hagerstown.
From I-70, take I-81 north, then 40 west.
Enter the center on your right (north) almost immediately
At the T-intersection, go left, which will be labeled either Garland Groh Blvd or Bartow Drive (Garland Groh becomes Bartow right there)
Follow Bartow Drive 3/10s of a mile to a roundabout.
Go halfway around to Sedgwick Way (this doesn't appear to have been build at the time of the last Google Maps image)
Park near 12608 Sedgwick Way (I think he said there's parking behind)
There's a borrow pit / drainage area with water as you look away from the building. The bird was in the field to the right of the water, and perched on some type of flower pot structure a couple times.

If you need more detail when you get there, you can call Jim on his cell phone at 301-742-0036.

Good luck!
