Loggerhead Shrike
Uploaded: February 02, 2015 | Entered: February 02, 2015 19:00:29
Today I went to photograph burrowing owls and instead found myself spending time with a pair of loggerhead shrikes. Pretty amazing for me because I've never encountered a shrike. The loggerhead shrike is a songbird but its hunting behavior is like a raptor. It hunts lizzards, birds, small mammals and insects. The shrike doesn't have talons so it pierces its catch on barbed wire and thorns.
