[Maine-birds] Northern shrike (Juv) & Red-bellied woodpecker

Hi folks,

I birded Messalonskee Marsh and a couple of nearby roads this morning saw a juvenile Northern shrike on the marsh (from the railroad crossing on Rt. 27) and a Red-bellied woodpecker near the end of Pinewood Drive off Rt. 11 not far from the lake.

Birds were very low in numbers.
