This afternoon (Weds. 11/20) I saw an adult Northern Shrike in the area just west of the main part of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Ottawa Co., NW Ohio. It was along Krause Road, west of its intersection with Stange Road and just east of State Route 2. When I first saw it, the bird was perched on a roadside wire near the southeast corner of the "Adam Grimm Prairie," and it flew off to the north when I approached. Here's a link to a map, for anyone unfamiliar with the area: http://www.bsbo.org/birding/pdf/OttawaNWRMap-Overview.pdf The Metzger Marsh / Ottawa NWR / Magee Marsh complex probably hosts at least a couple of Northern Shrikes every winter, but I hadn't heard any local reports yet this season, although individuals have been reported at various other Ohio sites during the last three weeks.
