First shrike I've ever seen! Perched in sugar maple at edge of clearing adjacent to spruce/birch/maple forests IDing as northern rather than loggerhead mostly based on range, but I do think the black eyeband here looks narrower than for loggerhead.

Larva netted from edge/bottom or rocky-bottomed creek (sawmill creek). Non-red midges larva? Moved with fast, squiggly squirming, moving almost constantly while I looked at them in the wooden spoon. Flip quickly through the pictures to get an idea of the movement!
Larva about 1 cm long.

Seed netted from fast-moving creek fattened by snowmelt. I think this is B. conata because the seed has 4 barbed awns (compared with 2 or 3 awns in other Bidens spp. according to minnesotawildflowers.info)
