A Northern Shrike just made a surprise attack on a mixed mob of about 50 
Chickadees, Goldfinches and Juncos plus on Purple Finch that had gathered
for a Friday lunch at my feeder array and departed empty handed. Clawed?

I wonder whether the intended victims reflected on W.S. Churchill's Boer War
observation that "nothing is as exhilarating as being shot at without result."
