The Loggerhead Shrike that hangs out near the Mud Hole was on one of its favorite perches this afternoon; sitting on the telephone wire on the hill across the road from the Mud Hole. The Mud Hole itself had about 18 Mallards. What a great year for Fox Sparrows! I still have 3 in the yard this afternoon and had 4 on Tuesday, a yard record. I couldn't get them all to pose together, but here's what I did get. Jerry
