This evening on my way home from Northfield, I saw two pairs of Loggerhead Shrikes in their usual breeding area north of Vermillion. The first pair was seen on Fisher Ave. between 190th and 180th, just north of where the paving ends at the gravel pits. The second pair was seen on Emery, just south of the farmhouse on the corner of Emery and 160th. Also new for the year for me were several Vesper Sparrows both in this area and several areas around Northfield.
