One Northern Shrike was at the fenced substation just SW of CR 122 x CR 101. Plumage appeared adult- like, but the lower mandible had much paleness to it. I know nothing about NSHR bill coloration. Another f/imm. Lark Bunting was a few miles east of here.
One Long-eared Owl was along the juniper-filled canyon that extends N from the Pawnee Buttes Escarpment overlook. Not much else exciting in there. At least three Eastern Bluebirds were on the W and S sides of CR 85 x CR 122. I thought that I was hearing more than three Easterns there, so, if this is near the edge of their expected range (?), someone may want to explore here. A quick run through Crow Valley Park after sunset showed only a Brown Thasher, Wilson's Warbler (f.ad.), Hermit Thrush, and House Wren.
