[Maine-birds] Northern Shrike versus Brown Creeper, Norridgewock

This afternoon I watched an adult Northern Shrike chase and eventually catch a Brown Creeper near my feeders. I don't recall ever seeing a shrike of any species catch a creeper. 100% of my shrike observations this season (i.e., both) have come from my yard. A couple poor through-the-window photos:
