    Lifer number 6 (with apologies for poor shot)

    That day we drove out into the desert in the East Sierras rain shadow to look for a reputedly great birding spot called Fish Slough. We found the slough, but Jan tired of the excursion before we got to the best birding spot(s). Still - we did see the petroglyph site and some birds along the way...

    Northern Shrike

    An uncommon winter visitor to Northern California, this individual was discovered by Matthew Forster and Lisa Winslow on 9 January 2022 and has been on territory here for over a month. It has been several years since I have seen this species which is similar to the Loggerhead Shrike, but...

    A lifer for me...almost dropped my camera... in my back yard. Now that I've seen and gotten a picture, I hope he carries on out of our neighborhood. We have a lot of Chickadees and Nuthatches. Like to keep it that way. :)

    Northern Shrike

    I owe this guy a great deal of gratitude, if It was not for him I would not have seen all of the birds this winter. The red polls, pine grosbeaks, all of the winter raptors, and the owls. I chased him all winter to get a image and I got it plus all of the others. This is the final image I got...

    Northern Shrike

    I have my first new bird to enter my gallery of the new year. I have been watching out for this one for a few weeks, but I could not get close-enough for a good image, and spotting this guy is some fair lighting has been difficult too. I managed this one on an overcast day and he perched on a...

    Northern Shrike

    Took a trip to Plum Island today in search of the Snowy Owl, which of course "we just missed him" everywhere we looked. Although this guy isn't new to my life list, it certainly isn't something I see a whole lot, with the exception of last year when he was a daily visitor to my feeder...

    Nearly half its size

    Walking in North Jetty in Iona there suddenly came the Shrike from a tree onto the ground and rushed into the grass, a few seconds later, it came out with a mouse, staying for a few more seconds and then flew away. This one needs extensive sharpening.

    Sketchbook - Northern Shrike

    An uncommon winter visitor is always a nice change. This one stuck around long enough for a few sketches, although he made me keep my distance. The top few drawings are of my pet quail, Spidge -- a frequent subject of mine when it's too dark to go birding and I need an avian model!
