A Northern Shrike has been seen for a few days now at Herrick Fen Nature
Preserve. I got there this morning driving on pretty bad roads, and I
passed the unmarked entrance 5 times before I finally found it.  But it was
worth it, as the Shrike greeted me at the trailhead.

If you're not familiar with how to get there, the hard part is finding the
entrance. If you are going north on Seasons Rd and you get to the railroad
tracks, you've gone too far north. The entrance is just south of there, on
the east side of the road. This link

should
take you right to the Google Street View pointed at the entrance.  You will
see a lot of wood dumped in piles, behind the railroad tracks. That is
where you want to turn in, drive over the railroad tracks. Then turn right
at the wood pile, then left, and drive down a narrow path. The entrance to
the park will be on the right.
