[Maine-birds] Shrike and L. Sparrow in Cape E.

Finally, after 5 previous failed attempts, the lark sparrow made an appearance for me beneath the lime green house's feeder, foraging on the seed mess below.  I am pretty sure I would not have been able to ID this bird without knowing exactly what I was looking for ahead of time.  He was sporting a bit of a mohawk, attentively stretching his neck about between ground peckings.  Definitely was behaving unlike the abundant tree sparrows.  Also saw a pair of bluebirds and perched about 50 yards before the house was a Northern Shrike, my 2nd is an many weeks!
