John Slattery writes: "The reports that I have read state the Northern Shrike is expanding its territory beyond the Carillon area.

    "I saw the shrike further south on Disposal Road approx. 200 feet to the west of the rear of the Maintenance Shed (behind the Observatory) at DeKorte Park this afternoon. 

   "The shrike was in the short trees next to the road on the north-east side of Disposal Road (i.e., the side away from the park)." (Thanks for the report and the photo, John!)
