[birdky] Directions to Northern Shrike

[David Roemer <dlroemer@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those unfamiliar with the Sinclair Unit of the
Peabody Wildlife Management Area and don't have any
idea where to go, here are some directions to where
the Northern Shrike was located.  This is from memory
so may not be exact, but will get you in the area
where you can look at the numbered signs posted on the
roads.  

From exit 58 on the Western Ky Parkway at Central City
take hwy 431 to Drakesboro.  Turn left at Drakesboro
on 176.  Continue for probably a couple of miles to
the first gravel haul road to the right.  This is just
past a lake on the right and just before an overpass. 
Turn right on this gravel road and take an immediate
right.  Follow this gravel road up the hill and bear
to the right at intersections a couple of times until
you reach the intersection with S2 on the hilltop,
this will be the highest point in the area.  Not sure
if there is a post with S2 marked here, but turn left
on S2.  You will then come to a gravel road to the
right with a marker S5.  The shrike was observed
within a few hundred yards of this intersection along
S5 on the hillside to the right of the road.

S2 may also be accessed from Riverside Road but I
don't believe there is a numbered sign there
identifying the road.

You may be able to obtain a map of the wildlife
management area at stores in the vicinity or where
hunting licenses are sold including Walmart.  A permit
is required and may be obtained where hunting licenses
are sold as well as some area stores.  Remember that
modern day gun season is in for deer so wear some
blaze orange.

Congrats to Roseanna, Hap, and Melissa for discovering
such a great bird.
