Three sightings in the same area over less than a week has me convinced that a Northern Shrike has taken up its off-season residency on the hill. Today, in fact, I believe I’ve located the general area of its food cache (or one of them). Hope to investigate soon.

Probably not tomorrow, though. Tomorrow will bring rain.
