[va-bird] Loggerhead Shrike, Blandy Farm

VA Birders,

I spent about an hour at Blandy Farm in Clarke County this afternoon.  
There were several Red-breasted Nuthatches coming to the feeders along 
with many other birds including some White-crowned Sparrows.  I exited 
Blandy out the back gate after passing by the ponds and found a 
Loggerhead Shrike perched in the top of a bare deciduous tree on the 
left side of the road about 200 yards past the back gate to Blandy.  I 
watched it for a few minutes and it took off and flew back towards 
Blandy and landed in the top of another bare deciduous tree in the 
hedgerow at the back gate.  A nice treat on a very cold winter day.
