[mou-net] Northern Shrike
I received a second heated birdbath as a Christmas gift. I set it up yesterday next to a feeder about 10 feet from my office window and just had a (first ever for my yard) Northern Shrike land on top of the feeder. Gorgeous bird! Merry Christmas to me!

[mou-net] photo of pine grosbeaks
I'm wondering if one of you might have a close-up photo of a p Hi All, I'm wondering if one of you might have a close-up photo of a pair of pine grosbeaks that you would allow me to use - attaching to a brief news release for our local newspapers about the Sherburne Christmas Bird Count. Birds in a natural setting - like a crab apple or other tree? I wanted to highlight the grosbeaks this year, since we rarely see them this far south. All I can promise is that your name would appear with the photo as a by-line if they use it. Thanks for considering!
