Nice surprise

7 June 2007

While out looking for Grasshopper and Clay-colored Sparrows this evening I came across a Loggerhead shrike, something of a rarity now in Quebec.

I managed a poor record shot but it was worth trying, it is a Quebec tick and only the third this year so far. As the species is sensitive in this province I'll not publish the specific location although I think it was just a lucky sighting of a late spring overshoot.
