The Loggerhead Shrike is a fascinating bird. It is often seen perched along dirt roads on posts, wires, and scrub brush. It is so focused it is sometimes approachable.
It forages from those perches swooping down to capture its prey on (or near) the ground. Prey includes large insects, lizards, birds, and rodents.
Once it captures its prey it often impales it on a barbed wire fence to eat (or store).
