Barbara, I believe this bird is a HY Northern Shrike. Did you note a long black tail erdged with white when it flew? I am not 100% sure on this ID but that's...
Thanks for looking - I wondered about a Shrike - didn't get a chance to see the beak or tail clearly. All I could see was a longish dark pointy beak and a...
I visited a few local ponds today and was pleasantly surprised to discover some good-sized flocks of waterfowl. Made me wish I'd had my scope along to see if...
