Loggerhead Shrike

Captured in early evening light.

I removed some troublesome twigs from around the perch, leaving a basic BOAS (bird on a stick). :c3:

Terrific head turn on this guy. Shows that hooked beak off nicely.

[Vikram Agrawal]

beautiful bird with lovely eye detail, love the catch light. job well done.

[PhilCook]

Handsome looking bird and perched wonderfully well, blue sky is extra nice, that beak looks like it's meant for serious business

[dankearl]

Nice pose and comp, Kerry.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Appealing simplicity here. Nice look-back HA. I'd be tempted to move th subject just a bit more to the left of the frame but still good as is.

Excellent image Kerry! I like the pose, sharpness, perch and composition.
