Loggerhead Shrike
This bird has the nickname of Butcher Bird, know for killing prey sometimes as large as it self then impaling the prey on a stick, thorn or prong of barbed wire. This activity secures the prey for feeding. I captured this image along Joe Overstreet Road. The pastures and sod farms bordering this road attract many Loggerhead Shrike to the area. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
