My mom Erika Kiley just spotted a Northern Shrike at the Trout Brook Valley Orchard. Seen perched at the north end of the orchard, near the barn where the Say's Phoebe was. Aidan Kiley Fairfield

Hopefully someone can capture a photograph of this individual for it is the season for unusual happenings. Could it possibly be a Loggerhead Shrike? > On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 10:38 AM Aidan Kiley via CTBirds <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> wrote: > My mom Erika Kiley just spotted a Northern Shrike at the Trout Brook Valley > Orchard.

It is most definitely a Northern Shrike. I reviewed Aidan's photos, and confirmed it as an adult Northern.
