The Northern Shrike of Boonton Township found yesterday, Jan. 15, by Ivan Kossack and Sue Kaufmann, continues today, Monday. See the original post for directions. At 2:40 this afternoon, five birders saw the Shrike behind the third base side of the ball field. Earlier it was seen in the cedars of the original post. In other words, it is moving around.

Elsewhere, Simon Lane reports a female Redhead this morning as well as a Northern Pintail at Bernardsville Quarry. Simon also saw an adult Northern Goshawk in the vicinity of Natirar in Far Hills.

Yesterday, Sunday Jan. 15, David Harrison’s Southwest Morris Count was conducted in frigid conditions. Some highlights were Horned Larks at a private farm in Long Valley, 5 Common Ravens in the Combs Hollow Rd. area of Mendham and three Redheads on Horseshoe Lake in Roxbury Township. This morning the lake was frozen, as are most Morris County lakes at this time, therefore, no Redheads.
