[mou] Loggerhead Shrike - Ely

[Bill Tefft]

This is only the third time in over 25 years that I have seen a
loggerhead shrike in the Ely area.  The other two times were in the same
year.

There was a loggerhead shrike at the softball field complex on the
southeast edge of town.  The softball fields are east of Hwy 1 as you
are leaving town going towards the North Shore.  It was see at about
2:15 and efforts to relocate it at 3:00 were unsuccessful.  I suppose it
is wandering and just being a shrike.

But it may turn up somewhere else in northeastern MN.
