I added eight Year Birds this morning, two at Pere Marquette Park and six at the Wastewater, including a Northern Shrike along Swanson south of Laketon, a Belted Kingfisher along White east of the admin. building, and two Northern Pintail in the rapid filtration lagoons, a male at 9:30 among Canada Geese and this female at 11:45 among Mallards near a pair of Gadwall.

Nice find for the Shrike! Have been looking for one of those, and haven't had any luck. They are my nemesis bird. I'll get one someday! :D
Yes, shrike is usually a nemesis for me too. I had already looked unsuccessfully west on Laketon. Unfortunately, after turning south on Swanson, I noticed it too late perched at the top of one of the trees lining the west edge of the road. My car caused the bird to fly north. I figured I'd re-find it because that's more than a square mile of open land with very few trees, but after turning around, I never saw it again.
