I just identified a Northern Shrike for the first time. It's been hanging out near my

[adirondacker]

2. There were a few chickadee feathers near the feeder last week. I haven't seen the

redtail in quite a while, so I'm highly suspecting this bird is the predator. The first time I saw it ,a few weeks ago, I thought it was a mutant bluejay (I didn't have my glasses on). Today, I got a good look at it through binoculars. It's quite shy, and flies off rapidly once it spots me. This is a first time seeing one here. Pretty cool!

My short list of birds I have hanging around;

Pair of Great Horned Owls with juvy last fall.
Pair of Redtail Hawks that nest 100 ft from my deck. (I got clipped in the head by one whist walking the trail near their nest)
Pileated woodpecker.
Downy woodpeckers.
Harry Woodpeckers.
Golfinch
Ruby Hummingbirds
Common Sparrow
Junkos
Chickadees Galore
