The bird was seen by a few of us between 10:30 and 11:00 AM in the cedars
just to the NW of the entry bldg to the Bong Recreation Area.  This seems
to be a favorite spot for the bird to feed.  It generally picks off the
cedar berries one at a time while fluttering then lands in the nearby
deciduous tree to devour them.  Bluebirds are in attendance as well as Pine
Siskens and the occassional Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Upon driving along the park road, a Rough-legged Hawk was seen perched and
then flying over a nearby field.
We did not see any Shrikes along the drive, but it's a huge area and they
are probably around.

At the nature center feeders were Tree Sparrows, Chickadees, Juncos, Blue
Jay, W-B Nuthatch and Pheasant.
