The bird is showing nicely, at least it did so in the 1:00-2:00 time frame.
From the visitor center proceed on the something loop trail until you come
out onto a field. To your left is a line of tree separating two fields. It
has been frequenting that line of trees. This afternoon it was perching
nicely on a tangle next to a green bush about 2/3 of the way down the tree
line.
The bird, by the way, is a young Northern Shrike. The scalloping is visible
on the breast and it has a narrow black mask with little white above or
below.
