Loggerhead Shrike
Lanius ludovicianus
37.1342, -120.87
Field Notes
Description:
I usually call these raptor wannabes. About the size of a Mockingbird with almost the same coloring. White underside and gray upper. Black wings with white wing bar. Black mask, bill and top of long tail. <br>
It preys on insects such as grasshoppers and impales them on thorns or barbed wire because it lacks the talons raptors have.
Habitat:
This one was spotted flying and perching near an irrigation ditch and a flooded field.
