The only bird there was the shrike . and Joyce saw that it had killed a sparrow and was feeding on it. After about an hour, the shrike was frightened by an approaching vehicle and flew off, taking the sparrow with it. The shrike was followed into the spruce hedge by a crow, and the meal came to an end! When she wrote, Joyce said the feeder had been unused for 1% days after the incident and was hoping it wouldn't last too long. '
