Loggerhead Shrike Stare

Loggerhead Shrike Stare

We had a little rain come through and this guy just did not want to leave the cactus. I was able to get extra close for this shot. I need to see if I can figure out what this birds name is.

With help from Don and Steve it has been determined that this is a Loggerhead Shrike. Who thinks up all the strange bird names anyway? lol.. There as bad as butterfly names.

Great capture of the bird Alan. Neat looking with the mask. I like the angle and how his head is tilted. Cool! Don

Superb shot. He is really giving you the stare down. He looks like a bandito with that dark color across his eyes.
