Loggerhead Shrike Nest Update

Above is a photo I captured with both birds in the nest this afternoon. Papa bird was bringing mama bird a little snack.
Our little Loggerhead Shrikes are busy these days. Here is a photo I shot as papa bird prepared to bring dinner to mama bird.

Frequently called "butcher birds," these little hawk like birds capture insects and lizards and use the barbs on the fence to carve up their meal.

Mama bird comes down from the nest and sits on the fence for a little break from time to time, but she's never away from the nest for more than a few minutes at a time.

Meanwhile, papa is always scouring the landscape for good eats!
