If you've never seen a loggerhead shrike before, head down to Dakota  
County this weekend.  I've never seen so many in one spot.  On 180th  
St between Fisher and Emery I saw 10!  Then when I headed north on  
Emery, I saw 2 more before I got to 160th.

There are kestrels fledging all over down there too and one young  
kestrel landed next to a shrike.  The shrike looked like it wanted to  
take off, but not sure it could out fly the kestrel.  The kestrel  
just looked happy to be there.
