Warblers, shrikes

[Cheryl Peterson <peterso3 at emstar2 dot net>]

There was a lot of activity on River Lane today.  The warblers I saw 
were:  Townsend's, Nashville, Black-throated Gray, Wilson's, Virginia's, 
Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped and Yellow.

There are a lot of shorebirds near Lebarron's Point (near Genola), but I 
couldn't identify very many because I don't have a scope.

I saw an unbelievable number of Loggerhead Shrikes today.  I saw 4 this 
morning in the Springville/Lake Shore area.  This afternoon I saw at least 
19 down at the airport dike.  One flock had 7 shrikes and another had 5.  I 
have never seen more than 2 at one time.  Do shrikes flock and migrate 
together?  I'll have to do some reading as soon as I get some time.

It was great to get out and bird today for the first time in a 
while.  Tomorrow I start back to work at an elementary and won't have much 
time for birding.
