Loggerhead Shrike up and personal
After landing right next to my head and posing this awesome 'butcherbird' spotted a lizard just a few feet away and went in for the kill. I missed the kill/carnage shots (focus) but got some amazing closeups beforehand. This is one of many. An amazing experience! :)- Victor Vector

Loggerhead Shrike
Discolored somewhat by the smoky air from the California wild fires. We were surprised to see this species hunting from wires along the horse pasture yesterday morning. These shrikes have been on a serious decline over much of their range and it's been many years since I saw one in Pacifica...- jmorlan
