Linda and all, I've now added some pics to my Flickr photostream of a Norther Shrike that was seen around the Corvallis Airport for several months this winter. https://flic.kr/p/rNnUkZ Looking at these and other photos of the two species, the bird at Basket Slough appears to have a broader mask that completely surrounds the eye as opposed to the narrower one of the Northern Shrike. The Northern Shrike bill looks longer to me than the Basket Slough bird but perhaps there are variations with different individuals? I am certainly not an expert in this and would look forward to hearing others opinions of the Basket Slough bird in my photos. Pam Otley
