Surprised it hasn't been reported on here, but I just saw on ebird that numerous observers who struck out on the Gyr on 2/14 saw a NORTHERN SHRIKE on Old Fort Rd in Wallkill (same general area as the Gyr). I don't know if anyone saw or looked for it today (luckily the resident rock star was obliging) but keep an eye out for it if you're looking for the Gyr.
