Brad Walker and I stopped by Turkey Hill Road on our way to work this morning and refound Jeff's NORTHERN SHRIKE. It was sitting in the hedgerow along the east side of Turkey Hill Road just north of the big barn at the intersection with Stevenson Road, then flew east to perch on the fence post along the north side of the barn. It was an adult, perhaps the same one that was hanging out in this area a month ago (although my impression was this one wasn't quite as pale.)
