Not much time to type right now, but I was out at Prairie Oaks this
afternoon (the area along Plain City-Georgesville road) and saw a beautiful
Northern Shrike.  It was in the row of trees across (to the south) of the
duck pond by the Prairie View Picnic Area. I have uploaded some pictures of
it, as well as a couple of Cackling Geese that were on the pond across the
street from the soccer fields on Spindler Rd this afternoon, to the
following link:

I saw the Snow Goose I reported earlier (or possibly another) flying
overhead to the north at the intersection of Roberts Rd and Alton & Darby
Creek Rd. this afternoon as well.

Good birding!
