As the title suggests, this a collecton of shrikes and vireos photos. Actually, at the moment, I have no vireo photos. I do not have easy access to them in my area. I feel fortunate to be able to photograph the Loggerhead Shrike as it was listed by the National Audubon Society as one of the "Birds in Decline" in 2007.
This is a Loggerhead Shrike that I photographed here in my hometown of Midlothian, Texas. It is a year round resident, but I seem to see more of them during the winter months. It is known for impaling its insect prey on sticks and barbed wire. It will even take small reptiles! December 29, 2007.
