Subject: Northern Shrike at Maumee Bay SP

I observed the Northern Shrike at Maumee Bay SP on Tuesday afternoon from about 2:30 until 4:30 in the afternoon. The bird was in the shrubby area north of the sledding hill and was perching up in the small trees. The bird was staying fairly far back, and I would not have seen it without first methodically scanning the area. A scope was required to identify the bird at that distance.

The Short-eared Owls put on a nice aerial display starting a bit early at about 3 PM. It was certainly interesting watching them harass the Northern Harriers. I missed the Common Redpolls, but was pleased to have scored the last copy of "Birds of the Toledo Area" from the nature store.
