Loggerhead Shrike

While looking for burrowing owls on the FAU campus, I found this shrike. Also called "butcher birds" because they impale their prey on thorns and barbed wire so they can tear them apart. You can't really see it in the photo, but these birds have hooked beaks, just like birds of prey. Posted by Picasa
