[mou] Loggerhead Shrike near Stewartville in Olmsted County

[paul pedersen]

Birders,
  
My daughter and I watched a Loggerhead Shrike as it hunted 
for prey along the power wires on the street that runs 
along the north side of Bear Cave Park north of 
Stewartville, MN in Olmsted County. We saw it at 7 PM on 
Wednesday evening and it was there for at least an hour. 
It moved all along the road, scanning and diving. It never 
came up with any prey. 

Turn west off Hwy 63 just north of Stewartville and just 
south of the bowling alley (I think it's 10th St NW, aka 
County 35). Go about 1 mile until you get to the entrance 
of Bear Cave Park. Then scan the wires to the north of the 
soccer fields along the same road. 
  
Good Luck
