[TN-Bird] FW: Re: pif landbird population estimate forloggerhead shrike in tn

I've lived 5 miles south of the Tennessee/Clinch confluence in Roane Co. since 
1999 and have seen only 1 Loggerhead Shrike. It was on Rt 58 on a telephone 
wire near the Meigs Co. line, and that was many years ago. I have not looked 
exhaustively and repeatedly, but I routinely drive Rts 58, 304, 322, 72, and 
perhaps 60% of the little roads that crisscross between the larger 
thoroughfares. We have more Cattle Egrets than shrikes. 
I thought Sequatchie Valley was supposed to be a relatively good place for 
shrikes (the term "relatively" being relative considering their scarcity) ....

Steve,
Being in Maury County with TWRA for 12 years and logging over 1500 to 2000 =
miles per month driving, i can say with confidence that there are less =
than 10 breeding pairs of shrikes in this county. You might say that loss =
of habitat is the answer, but a couple of my best locations to find them =
are low populated subdivisions.
Good Birding,
