John Shipman wrote me concerning the source of information on bird weights. I got the data on shrike & house finch from "Body weights of 686 species of North American birds," by John Dunning, Jr. Publ. Western Bird Banding Assn, Monnogr. No. 1, May 1984. If you are interested in this useful publication, it may be available from: Eldon Publishing P. O. Box 446 Cave Creek Az. 85331 Another source of this sort of thing is: "Weights of 151 species of Pennsylvania birds analyzed by month, age, and Sex" Bull. Carnegie Mus. Nat. Hist No. 5, 1978.
