I looked it up and identified it as a Northern Shrike. No other birds came back to the feeders for about a half an hour. I have not seen it again; good thing for the chickadees, juncos, and sparrows!Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552516373356566813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743688930480262404.post-11079874082494048962013-11-08T18:23:54.840-05:002013-11-08T18:23:54.840-05:00Shrike and coot are great birds for the day...cert...Shrike and coot are great birds for the day...certainly seemed like a good day for a golden eagle and/or rough legged...perhaps tomorrow?Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173127478266831293noreply@blogger.com
