I found a first-winter Northern Shrike at Carlisle Reservation (Lorain Co.) Saturday afternoon. It was scanning from a drowned tree in the wetlands where you enter the Meadow Loop trail near the Visitors Center. I also lucked into a pileated woodpecker along the entrance drive to the Wellington Upground Reservoir. There's a bit of distant open water with Canada geese, mallards, a couple of black ducks, and a ruddy.
