Hi Everyone:

A new lifer for both Nick and I-A Northern Shrike! Nick has ID pictures and alas, it was not in NS but across the bay in route 915 (Little Ridge, NB).  It flew across the road and landed in a tree while we were looking for White-winged Crossbills. It took us a while to identify it as, being new birders, we thought it was another species of crossbill (the little hook at the end of the beak threw us off).

By the way, we have not found our binoculars so we have talked to Carsand Mosher (Truro) about become a dealer for Swarovski (apparently there is no dealer in NS and the hunting stores only carry rifle scopes).  We would appreciate if folks just keep any eye out when the snow melts at the usual spots in Eastern Passage.

Tuma and Nick
