On 11/4, my husband told me that while I was gone, a "strange bird" had harassed the sparrows on the feeders close to our house. He then provided a great description of a shrike. I assume it was probably a Northern. Our house is about a mile southeast of the intersection of I-35 and Hwy 30. We haven't seen it again.
