Loggerhead Shrike in Winter


 

This is my first close encounter with the Loggerhead Shrike.  This bird looks like a songbird, sounds like a songbird but it behaves like a hawk.  When a Shrike spots its prey, it quickly rushes down and throws its prey to the ground.


But these birds are in trouble.  Unfortunately, they are in decline.  I recently learned that Northern Utah is rapidly losing excellent habitat for this species. 














Life goes on.
