Re: [Ontbirds] Vinemount Loggerhead Shrike

Hello: My experience was that seeing this shrike is not so easy. It is a small bird a long ways off when it is perched. Much farther than 200 metres when we saw him at twilight yesterday. If you stand at the culverts just south of Green Mountain (not the ones closer to Mud St.) and face East you
