Northern Shrikes - Muskegon County

[Richard Pedler]

Mich-Listers:

David Elbrecht spotted a NORTHERN SHRIKE this morning on the south 
Wastewater properties.  My wife and I saw the bird (an adult) later in 
the morning perched on the telephone wire along Laketon west of Seba 
(about 100 yards east of the elbow in Laketon).  It then hover-hunted, 
dove after something in the grass, and continued hunting by perching on 
mullen stalks in the field north of Laketon.

This is the fourth sighting of a shrike at that location in the last 
several days.  There have been at least three shrikes (2 adults; 1 first 
year) on the Wastewater properties recently.

PS:  David also reported one blue phase Snow Goose among the Canadas 
east of Swanson between Apple and Laketon.
