After a dry spell without Loggerhead Shrike sightings,
I had 4 sightings, consisting in what I believe to be
3 individuals, over the past two days.

On Thursday, Feb. 15, I had #1 perched on a hay bale
on Duncantown Road about .3 miles from its turn north
as Tuck Road.  Today I saw what I suspect to see the
same bird at the intersection of Tuck with Grady Ellis
Rd.  These two spots are about .3 miles apart.

On the way home Thursday I spotted what I'll call the
David Haskell Shrike, (he reported a shrike to this
list at this spot---about a year ago?), on Georgia
Crossing Road .6 miles west of Greenhaw Road. 

Today I saw a shrike about 1.7 miles WWSW of this spot
on Arnold Farm Road in a small, relatively new,
unsigned nursery. 

There were also today (Feb. 16) 5 Snow Geese, three of
which were the blue form, in the field on the left at
the northern end of Morris Ferry bridge.

Following are the coordinates of the shrike sightings
as best I can estimate them (numbers refer to their
order of mention above):

#1 35.3233, 86.0282
#2 35.3250, 86.0209
#3 35.1837, 86.0167
#4 35.1778, 86.0417

It has been my very great fortune to find an incredibly wonderful bird.
