Bird Notes from Long: Island, N.Y. 
William Dutch er. 
13. Lanius ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike.— The first record of 
this species on Long Island was made by Mr. N. T. Lawrence in 187S.* 
No other records have been made since, that I am aware of. I have the 
pleasure of adding a second record; a male, young of the year, taken 
August 28, 1888, at Springs, Suffolk Co. It was sent to me in the flesh 
by a correspondent, Mr. Daniel D. Parsons, who occasionally sends me 
birds, especially those that are new or strange to him. His letter of trails 
mittal stated that the Shrike “was alone, and was shot from the highest 
branch of an apple tree, in the middle of a field. I never saw one like it 
before.” From the date of capture, and also from the locality — near the 
extreme eastern part of the Island— it is probable that this specimen was 
bred on Long Island or in the adjoining State of Connecticut.
