Rebecca and I went to various places around Brookville today. Started off 
looking for the Barred Owl. We knew we were in the wrong place as the 
American crows started alarm call. we ran up and down the side of the road 
chasing the crows that were chasing something. We never did see what it was 
they were chasing. 

Our ultimate goal for going to Brookville today was the Northern Shrike. we 
were headed up and down the causeway and just didn't see it anywhere. we 
were just about to pull away disappointed but i saw what i thought was a 
branch tangle and thought to my self do i really want to see another 'leaf' 
bird however it was the Shrike! it was on the Beach side of the road about 
half way across and down the side of the hill in the top of the tree we 
found him in. 

Other birds we found today include: White-throated Sparrow, American Crow, 
American Coot, Lesser Scaup, Merganzer sp.?, American Kestrel, Turkey, 
Eastern Bluebird, Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Flicker, 
Song Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Mockingbird, Northern Cardinal and 
a Downy Woodpecker 

 

Great Find There William

 

See you all soon
