While snowshoeing yesterday in eastern Iowa County I observed a Northern Shrike perched in a tree high above me. This bird was seen last week by other observers, and it may stay the winter. Seems like a good vole year in these parts. I finally signed up for eBird and have entered all my sightings to date for 2010. I guess that's my New Year's resolution. If you haven't used eBird yet, it's pretty easy (just go to ebird.org).
