Loggerhead Shrikes
Another bird I am seeing frequently is the Loggerhead Shrike.
I sighted this song bird perched high in a tree above the Everglades NP Gulf Coast Visitor Center. I actually heard it first.
Loggerhead Shrike – there you are!
Most times I’m seeing one perched on a communications wire.
Oops, here’s one of them!
Loggerhead Shrike
It is called a “Loggerhead”, which is a synonym for “blockhead”, referring to this bird’s unusually large head in relation to its body.
