Greetings for the Ol' Black Swamp, Returning home from our morning labors, Micki and I were pleasantly surprised by a Northern Shrike posing for us on a power line near the road. This is our first Shrike this year. Maybe the drought is over, and we'll be seeing a few more northern visitors??? Bird long and prosper, Doug & Micki Dunakin Out in Carryall Township near Antwerp, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
