A Northern Shrike was easily visible from the large meadow at Swine Creek Reservation in Geauga County today A narrow line of trees runs through the meadow near an old gas well, and the Shrike was perched at the top of these trees. I first discovered it at about 1:30 PM and it was still there two hours later.
Swine Creek Reservation is on Hayes Road southeast of Middlefield and is near the Geauga/Ashtabula County line. A map is available at the Geauga Park District web site.
