Title: NJ: THE MEADOWLANDS - Rare Northern Shrike has been seen on Disposal Road ... Post by: Donna on 15-Dec-09, 06:54:59 AM (Likely) the Last Shrike Update of the Day
We even had the good fortune of watching it cough up a pellet at the former Kingsland Landfill. Several birders saw the same show this morning and, as one commented, "Recycling on a landfill -- how appropriate." We saw the bird across the road from the Carillon, just behind that water retention pond, typically perched very high in a bare tree. (This shot was taken just after noon.) We are hoping he hangs around for the Christmas Bird Count this weekend -- if not longer. Several birders saw the Northern Shrike sporadically on Disposal Road from just after noon through 1:15 p.m. today (when we had to leave).
