An otherwise bird-scant walk through Warner Meadows and Hillside 
Cemetery this morning was highlighted by an first-year Northern Shrike 
in the cemetery.  Great looks as the bird foraged by sallying to the 
ground, twice picking up and eating what looked like a dark caterpillar 
or grub.  I wondered if they were wooly bears -- does anyone know if 
shrikes take these?

On each of the past 3 days a flock of 10-20 Bohemian Waxwings has 
alighted in a treetop at the VCE office at Palmer Court in WRJ.
