["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Burt Hale telephone today to report that a Loggerhead Shrike arrived this 
morning at his feeders on Sharps Hollow Rd. north of Bluff City in Sullivan Co. 
 How is that for a new yard bird ?

Since he and Loraine have been putting out orange slices for the Northern 
Mockingbirds, it took a little awareness before they fully picked noticed one 
bird on the ground, underneath a bush, was a shrike.

The shirke had a dead bird impaled on a thorn in the bush.

It was also having lunch !  

Of course, he explained,  the feeder birds were not frequenting the thistle 
feeder on that side of the house.  They had moved to safer feeders out of sight 
of the shrike.

There you have an ultimate snowstorm bird feeder !

Let's watch birds.....
