Not nearly as nice as one would expect from Bill Hubick or Mark Hoffman, 
but some photos of the Frederick Co. Northern Shrike can be found here:

I guess the second trip was the charm for this bird.  Only had to wait 
about an hour before it showed this afternoon and then it gave great 
views.  At one point it flew across Shriver Rd, alternately flying 
straight up and hovering over the field, before returning to the 
fenceline.  Horned Larks and Pipets were still around, though not as 
prevalent as last week.
