Colorado Birder

Hi all Seen on our Crow Valley Xmas Count this weekend on Pawnee National Grassland. "Common" (mocker) during breeding season. We did have one mocker on this count few years back. Only photos I have. When I initially saw it it looked to have long tail and when perched those drooping wings (seen in binos). I hoped for mocker but each passing day says Northern Shrike.
