   Meredith Clebsch has done it again! At about 3 pm today she called with 
directions to locate a second shrike for this week.
    This one was in our bins by 3:40 pm.
    The bird  is in the area of Loudon Co. where Axley Chapel , East  Tellico 
Parkway & National Campground roads meet. On the former rd. about 0.25 miles 
from the a/m intersection there is a gravel driveway to the right going up hill 
through a grassy field. The shrike was first spotted in the nearest dead tree 
to 
the right of the gravel driveway. Then it flew to the top of metal fence posts 
over to the right. The next time we saw it was in the top of a large Tulip 
Poplar  tree across the road . There we watched it devour a large insect, after 
which it began to preen !
     Fabulous week thanks to Meredith!
