This morning on my way to work I saw a Loggerhead Shrike sitting on the
wires of a utility line near the Waterford Down farm Managers house/pond on
Loyalty Rd in northern Loudoun County. The bird was clearly visible at just
10-15ft about the car. Once I stopped the car and got out the bird had
disappeared. I scanned the area for a while, but did not see it back. Plenty
of areas where the bird can hide. In the meantime American Kestrels,
Starlings, Eastern Kingbirds and Mockingbird were active. Also seen were a
fair number of Northern Rough-winged Swallow and Bluebirds.
Happy birding
