Hi Everyone I spent a couple of hours birding the Napanee Plains this morning. I was fortunate to find 1 adult Loggerhead Shrike actively feeding in a field but unfortunately I couldn't read the bands. There were also 3 Northern Shrikes, 2 adult and 1 immature also present. Overall it was still somewhat quiet with only a couple of Eastern Meadowlarks singing, 2 Northern Harrier displaying and 1 Eastern Bluebird. Later on between Napanee and Gananoque along Hwy.401 I counted 35+ Turkey Vulture, 2 immature Bald Eagle and 11 Red-tailed Hawk. Good birding, Bruce
Directions: From Kingston take Hwy 401 west to exit #593 and go north to Nugent Road and turn left. Follow west to CR 27 (Main Street). The Loggerhead Shrike was along Craigen Road near Joyce Road.
