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.
I wasn't sure about this shot. The shrike was quite a distance from me as it had just finished running off a red winged blackbird from its territory. I liked the unobstructed perch so I took the shot. This image represents a 66% crop of the full frame. Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
