I was at Lake Erie Bluffs this afternoon with my son.  We walked the trails
west of Lane Road.  We were not able to relocate the northern shrike.  I
haven't seen it since the first few days of January.  We were able to find
some interesting birds.  The most interesting was finding all three Ohio
mimids.  There was a gray catbird at the end of Lane Road, a thrasher in the
southwest corner of the field, and a mockingbird in the northwest corner.  I
also found a single northern flicker.  There was a harrier and American
kestrel at the south end of the property.  There was a steady stream of
gulls overhead.  I didn't see anything other than a few great black-backed
gulls.  There were quite a few mergansers on the open lake.
