Hello Cole,
Thank you for the sighting! I've included the Loggerhead Shrike Working here
- it is likely a shrike banded by Chris Hill, in SC. Here's hoping we can
provide some feedback!

Subject: Banded shrike sighting
Amy,
My name is Cole Tiemann, and I am a birder who spotted a banded Loggerhead
Shrike yesterday. I went on the website and I’m unsure who to report the
band to, so please let me know if I should be emailing someone else or just
reporting the bird through the Bird Banding Lab.
The shrike I spotted yesterday was at Lake Busbee in Conway, South Carolina,
specifically in the parking lot perched on telephone wires (so I have
suspicions that it was captured and banded nearby). Specifically, the
coordinates are 33.828604, -79.057811. I have attached a photo of the bird,
and sadly this is the only angle I have before it flew off. It appears that
there are two orange bands on the left leg and a
Green band over a silver band on the right leg, but honestly the right leg
is really hard to make out. The uncropped photo may be easier to zoom in
and see. Please let me know if you want any more details and I appreciate
the help!
Thank you,
Cole Tiemann
