November 20th, 2005. Barre Falls Dam, MA.
| Northern Shrike Lanius excubitor borealis, adult.
| Really
nice views of this bird as it charged around the parking lot area in
front of the hawkwatch station. It eventually caught a small rodent and
made several attempts to catch others, often hovering just before
plunging into the grasses. Bart Kemp mentioned that the bird had been
in the area for about two weeks.
