Here along the Mississippi River, we are still blessed with a pretty good  
population of Loggerhead Shrikes and in some areas fairly dense populations in  
both winter and summer seasons. I had decided to record the locations of  
every Loggerhead Shrike that I see in my birding travels this year which  will 
be 
mainly along the Mississippi River. I've not covered many roads  that would 
probably produce more records but just usually follow my regular  birding 
routes. I try not to list the birds twice at the same  locations and now that 
nesting has started, I'll start a new list of summer or  breeding locations and 
nests. In the last 2 weeks I've noted nests at 3  locations but I've recorded 
pairs together even in January.
 
So far this year I have located 69 individual birds at 64 GPS  locations (5 
pairs) in the following counties:
 
TENNESSEE - Shelby 3, Tipton 2, Lauderdale 7, Haywood 1, Dyer 9 and Lake  3
ARKANSAS - Crittenden 19
MISSISSIPPI - DeSoto 9, Tunica 10 
 
It will be interesting to see the difference in density between the summer  
and winter seasons.
 
 
Good Birding  !!!
