I was finally successful, but it was at quite a distance. When I walked to my car to get my scope it flew directly over my head in its woodpecker-like style. It perched much closer with its back to me, but turned to look at me so I did get a good view of its impressive bill. It flew to a very distant perch before I could photograph it. The Northern Shrike is a very beautiful bird.
