Highlights from DeKorte & environs yesterday: the Northern Shrike (at the Disposal Retention Pond area, eating brunch, and chasing a mockingbird), two Bald Eagles (one attacking gulls, one soaring), Cooper's Hawk and the usual raptors, Canvasbacks and the other usual waterfowl) Fox Sparrows, and a Great Blue Heron (left) near the start of the Saw Mill Creek Trail, not far from the shrike.
