Experiences & anecdotes
10/19/22 - The cute but vicious Loggerhead Shrike is often found on barbed wire or thorny branches. It grabs a prey and impales it on the thorns. I usually don’t hear the Shrike vocalize but I got lucky and heard it recently and got to take a new recording of it. My husband and I always keep an eye out for this bird when driving around or going on a walk.

- This is the song of the Loggerhead Shrike. There is a group of trees at the park that the shrike often likes to hang out in when I visit.
