Re: [SBB] Blue Grosbeak & Loggerhead Shrike

That pair of Loggerhead Shrikes have been on that stretch of barbed-wire fence for about a month now. I mentioned them to Mike M. on the day that we first reported the Blue Grosbeaks at Ed Levin CP. I think they have been hired by the park staff to count vehicles that pass. LOL
