Message: Hi Everybody.  On Wednesday, January 28th, we went birding on 
Antelope Island.  Thanks to the earlier posting from Jack Binch, we were 
able to locate the Northern Shrike about a mile from the ranch as was 
mentioned.  We were fortunate in that the bird did fly across the road 
several times, affording us marvelous views.  At one point, it perched in a 
small clump of rabbit brush in close proximity to the car -- nicest views 
ever!  We observed it from around 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  It was near the 
last gate before the ranch.  We hope that this precise location will be 
helpful to anyone still interested in seeing the shrike.  We also saw two 
Virginia Rails at the ranch and a Prairie Falcon in flight near the 
restrooms/picnic tables along the beach below the visitor's center.
