Stephen > I spied this loggerhead shrike high in a tree, but it wasn't completely by chance. I have seen shrikes in this same area for several years now. The trick is finding one in the open in decent light. Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > I wasn't sure about this shot. The shrike was quite a distance from me as it had just finished running off a red winged blackbird from its territory. I liked the unobstructed perch so I took the shot. This image represents a 66% crop of the full frame. Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > While trying to get a good shot of this shrike in a more natural setting, I took this nice portrait of it on barbed wire. Its nest with two hatchlings was just to the left in a tree. Midlothian, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > I was driving alone the back roads in my area seeing at least three loggerhead shrikes, but, as luck would have it, none were in a good position to be photographed. They were either too far or on a utility line. The fourth one though was perched nicely in a tree where I photographed it. Maypearl, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > I am always excited to find a loggerhead shrike. I like their curved beaks and the head plumage. This one was photographed in Maypearl, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > This is another image of the loggerhead shrike that allowed to get relatively close as it looked down into a small meadow in my hometown of Midlothian, Texas, December, 2007.
Stephen > This rather plump looking shrike was photographed perched in a large tree near a pond in Midlothian, Texas, December 2007.
Stephen > The hawk of the songbird world; This is a Loggerhead Shrike that I photographed here in my hometown of Midlothian, Texas. It is a year round resident, but I seem to see more of them during the winter months. December 29, 2007.
Stephen > This is a Loggerhead Shrike that I photographed here in my hometown of Midlothian, Texas. It is a year round resident, but I seem to see more of them during the winter months. It is known for impaling its insect prey on sticks and barbed wire. It will even take small reptiles! December 29, 2007.
