Three of us birded at Killdeer Plains today. At parking lot L which is
at the west end of Pond 27 we found a Northern Shrike. At a little after
9:00 we saw it fly from the south side of the road to land in a tree
along the edge of the small pond beside the parking lot. After half a
minute it flew again and we couldn't find it again. We returned to the
area at about 11:30 and saw a single Brewer's Blackbird land. When it
flew we walked to the dike and walked to the west end of it hoping to
find the blackbird. We couldn't find it but heard a strange song. After
listening for a couple minutes the shrike popped up and we got great
looks at it. Apparently it was the shrike that was singing.
