Loggerhead Shrike

Young Loggerhead Shrike photo taken this morning.
Cute looking little bird, but known also as the "butcher bird"
Note the hooked beak like other birds of prey.

Awesome shot. I just learned a couple months ago how nasty these cute little tufts of feathers can be. Sort of reminds me of the rabbit in Monty Python's, Holy Grail.

Awesome markings on the face!!!

Beautiful bird...great sharpness on this shot as well!!!

Nice work!

I keep thinking anout this shot- Probably because all my loggerhead shots are so crummy, but maybe this would have worked much better in a vertical format.

I like it, just the other birds head is what my eyes keep going to.
