David- 

Remember I told you it would show up as soon as I left? This bird is going to 
kill me.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Northern Shrike - Irvine Nature Center - YES

I was a late arrival at Irvine Nature Center today and it paid off for me 
(finally). I observed the NORTHERN SHRIKE from 3:40 - 4:00 pm. The shrike was 
not in the left side tree line dividing the two fields as others reported. 
Instead, I originally found him (her) in the lower edge of the field beyond the 
left tree line, perching on the plastic sapling protection sleeves. He then 
worked his way along the tree line that is next furthest left along the field. I 
lost sight of him around 4:00pm after sending a text to report my find to my 
girlfriend.

Other nice birds included FOX SPARROW and NORTHERN HARRIER.

Happy Birding,
dcs
