I just returned with my two step-daughters from searching for the shrike 
with no luck.  I did track down a Blue Grosbeak at the location.  LOTS of 
mockingbirds.

> Hi Everyone,

> Jim Green just called to report a LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE in Washington Co. He

> 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
