Loggerhead Shrike, Whitefish Point 9/23

[Hawkowls at aol.com]

A Loggerhead Shrike was found at the Point today. We lost the bird for 45  
minutes to an hour before finding it again at the spot of the original sighting. 
 The bird was last seen at 11:30, but people were staking the spot out when I 
 left to post this. We wish we were getting longer looks at this bird, but 
all  agreed with somewhat brief looks through a scope that it was LOSH. I have 
posted  a picture on the wpbostaff blog, which can be linked out of either of 
the blogs  available off of the wpbo homepage (I need to make that simpler). I 
wish I got a  better photo, but think the posted photo is good enough to be 
conclusive. You  can click on the photo to enlarge it. We will obviously give an 
update  later.
    For those familiar with the Point, the bird was  hunting from snags in 
the large boggy opening on the shipwreck side of the  census trail. It was 
towards the end of the opening that is closer to the  old rope road.
