[Maine-birds] Northern Shrike, Norridgewock

My first of the season Northern Shrike, a juvenile, just visited our feeding station. It once flew to the ground and ate something small (stray piece of suet?), then left. Immediately afterward I noticed our resident-of-late female cardinal on open ground below the feeders, head cocked and frozen stiff, and blending in well with the dead grass and leaves, only 6 feet from where the shrike had landed.
