Surprise Shrike

Monday, December 10th, 2018
Northern Shrike, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 10 December 2018.

“Merry Christmas, meadow voles.” —Northern Shrike

Cold morning. Breezy. Bright sun. Crow and chickadee. And near the summit, a glimpse of a Northern Shrike.

(Elsewhere, a bunch of birds—including a gaggle turkeys fluttering across Route 1.)
