I caught an extremely brief glimpse of the Shrike at 3:15 this afternoon.

It was sitting on a bluebird box alongside the walking trail, surveying the brushy, scrubby field between the box and the north end of the football field--marked by a large old pale blue sign proclaiming the field to be "Home of Northwest Tornadoes."

This morning a Shrike--probably Northern--was hunting right beside the walking
trail behind Zane State-OUZ where the trail begins to slope uphill and the
"brushy" area begins (next to Checkush Field and the football field.)

I'd love for someone else to spot the bird and ID it definitively because
I've never seen a Shrike before! (But I definitely know it was a Shrike.)
