Air Station Prairie Wednesday 1-7-26

[Al Stokie]

Hello Bird People,

Just went to Air Station Prairie today to search for yesterday's
Shrike which I couldn't find when I tried yesterday. Got an email from
Todd Anderson reminding me that it was "three Shrike's & you're out"
so I needed to see it today. Bob Erickson was with & later we ran into
birder Grant. Took a long time (an hour) but I finally saw the Shrike
at the top of a large shrub but it flew before Bob could get on it.
Took another 20 min but Bob & Grant found it on the far SW corner of
the Prairie.
Then we saw it in my scope for good looks.
Didn't see much else so that ends my report.

Bird-Of-The-Day to the Northern Shrike & only 10 species for the day.

All, was a Montrose Bird Sanctuary this morning and noticed a broken car window right by the curb near the entrance to the sanctuary. A week or so ago there were several break ins at the parking lot of the dog beach. 

Looks like someone is targeting cars where people might not be watching them. 

Also found several backpacks and items scattered on Simmonds drive. Took those to the police station.

Anyway, be careful in the area!
