Wolfe Island (Kingston) - This was one of 5 shrikes I encountered that day, a record total for me. I figured that 2-3 of them were recent northbound migrants.
That is the actual colour of the bird. It's in transition.

This is a very challenging subject to get close enough to for a good shot. I worked with it for two hours, then had it fly away from its normal treetop perches to land low beside the road.

Sue Bishop: You did well!
Brian Morin: This was just before I was going to give up so thankfully it worked out. I had far less success with an adult. It was a distant record shot.

BrianMorin: Good shot in nice light. Your distance was very good. We never have a chance to get that close in the few times we see one.
Chris: He landed just in front of me but didn’t stay long…had to be quick. At first I thought it was the mockingbird that had been reported…but a great consolation prize lol.

Interesting to see this guy land a few feet from a Bald Eagle. South Arm Marsh, Ladner, BC Canada.

Ingleside - This is the third bird I've found this winter (I forgot about the Quebec bird). Getting photos of this species is very tough because of the frequency of observation, their small size and their tendency to perch high in a tree. I heard today about one coming to a suet feeder not far from Algonquin Park. That would be the way to do it.
