You nailed it perfectly Shirley. Excellent natural framing by the branches and amazing bokeh and BG. #1677984

I haven't heard of this bird before Shirley! What a cute little character, fantastic light and clarity here! #11555836

Thank you, John. The Loggerhead Shrike is a meat eater. I have seen him with a small snake, but most of the time it is large worms that we call cut worms, because they usually destroy plants by cutting the roots or stem under the ground. We enjoy watching pretty much every day in our back yard. <>< #11555844
